Dr. Gregory "Greg" Pratt was a fictional medical doctor from the television series ER. He was portrayed by Mekhi Phifer.
Season 8
Pratt's first appearance as a main character was late in the 8th season in the episode "Orion in the Sky". He was shown as a smart, but arrogant intern from a VA hospital. He meets Dr. Mark Greene on Greene's last day at County, argues with him over treating a patient, and is initially dismissive of him before becoming aware of Mark's terminal cancer when talking to the chief resident, Carter. By day's end, he has learned a little about practicing medicine from Dr. Greene. Pratt wasn't present at Dr. Mark Greene's funeral, but in the Season 12 flashback episode "Body & Soul", it was revealed he worked that day at the hospital since it was understaffed, because most of the doctors were at Dr. Greene's memorial. Pratt later inherits Dr. Greene's locker. In the beginning of his residency, Pratt shows immediate leadership and quick precision, but his limited experience and cowboy antics often led him to collide with his chief resident, Dr. John Carter, and other attendings on many occasions, including a thoracotomy procedure he was unqualified to do (though the patient survived) and resuscitating a patient who had been declared dead, and was brain-dead upon his "revival." He initially clashed with med student Michael Gallant, as Michael's military background made him more "by-the-book," whereas Pratt liked to go around the rules. However, they later became close friends. During the critical smallpox outbreak, Pratt proved his skills and courage as a swift physician by helping Dr. Luka Kovač and Dr. Jing-Mei Chen save Dr. Robert Romano's life. The entire hospital is thrown into chaos during the evacuation gone awry, and he along with Dr. Carter, Abby Lockhart, and Dr. Chen were forced into quarantine in the ER.
Season 9
In Season 9, Pratt begins an on and off relationship with fellow physician Dr. Chen. During the series, it was revealed that Pratt had a mentally handicapped adopted brother named Leon living with him. Leon kept Pratt safe and focused on school during his childhood, but he was left with the reasoning ability of a small child after surviving a gunshot to the head. Due to his handicap, Leon often got into trouble and would disrupt Pratt's professional and personal life, especially when he became involved with a group of thugs who stabbed him in the buttocks over a confiscated gun, got him thrown in jail overnight, and then made him join them on a robbery. This last incident ended with one of the thugs dead, and a cop badly injured (though he recovered thanks to good surgical work by Dr. Elizabeth Corday). To help give Pratt a break, Carter suggested that Leon leave town for a while, leading Pratt to send his brother away to stay with other family members in Baltimore. Leon never returned to the show and was not mentioned again in future seasons. Pratt and Gallant were briefly held for questioning by the Chicago police after a robbery/homicide occurred at a diner across the street; Chen had said that she might have seen a black man fleeing the scene.
Season 10
During the tenth season, Pratt was supposedly fired by the frustrated Romano, whom he had been bumping heads with ever since Romano took over the ER. This was based on bogus allegations that Romano was collecting because of his overall dislike of Dr. Pratt. However, Romano never got to present these findings before the hospital director since he never showed up at the conference (unbeknownst to the others, he had been killed by a crashed helicopter). Dr. Anspaugh (correctly assuming that Romano was biased), told Pratt to keep up the good work. Pratt and Chen's continuing relationship began to break down when Pratt's casual flirting with new medical student Neela Rasgotra led to Pratt telling Chen that he didn't see them having a serious future together. Their relationship ended early in Season 10 which caused Chen to be often curt and dismissive towards Pratt for a long while, but they eventually became friends again. In the season finale "Drive", Pratt is involved in a road rage shooting while driving a patient named Elgin Gibbs home on his way to dinner with Chen.
