It was a tear-jerker season 3 finale last night for the ABC medical drama ‘Private Practice’ as the all around good guy and much loved Dell, played by Chris Lowell, died from injuries suffered in his automobile accident while rushing Naomi’s pregnant daughter Maya to the hospital. In typical Dell fashion his death was a heroic one in which he refused treatment while helping save Maya. See what Chris had to say about losing his role and what his future plans are.
