In an interview, Speedman shared his excitement about the role, stating, “If we can pull this off, we’ve got a show on our hands.” He has been known for his previous work on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, where he portrayed Meredith’s love interest in the latter seasons. His transition to R.J. Decker showcases his versatility as an actor, as he prepares to take on a character he describes as fun and charismatic.

Speedman has been linked to his fiancée, Lindsay Rae Hofmann, since 2017, and the couple got engaged in June 2023.

Speedman has expressed pride in his family, noting, “I’m aware that I don’t have to do the heavy lifting so I’m a coach and support team for my girl,” referring to Hofmann’s endeavors.

Hofmann co-founded a swimwear brand called Juillet in 2017 and has co-hosted a podcast focusing on mental health and wellness. Speedman has shown his support for her projects, stating that he enjoys the shows she watches him in, highlighting their collaborative spirit as partners.

On the set of RJ Decker, Speedman has been actively involved, spending up to 14 hours a day filming. He has also expressed his eagerness to perform his own stunts, which adds an exciting dimension to his character. He remarked, “Buy an old TV and smash it! It’s very fun. It’s good to do! I’ve done it before in my personal life, just for fun, so I had some practice.” This hands-on approach reflects his commitment to bringing authenticity to the role.

Speedman has been preparing for this role after spending 18 months in lockup, which he described as a transformative experience. He stated that he had a good feeling about the RJ Decker pilot after the read-through, indicating a strong belief in the show’s potential success.
