The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric Dane dead at 53<br \/>\nBorn in San Francisco on November 9, 1972, Dane had a troubled childhood. His father died from a gunshot wound when he was only seven years old. He told the Gult Fimes that it wasn\u2019t until he himself became a parent that he understood how \u201cdevastating\u201d he must have been as a child after the horrific accident.<\/p>\n<p>Dane found acting accidentally. He played water polo in high school, and as the season was short, he ended up playing Joe Keller in All My Sons. He told the Gulf Times in 2014 that he \u201cfell in love\u201d with acting at that point<\/p>\n<p>After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. Eric Dane landed roles on television series such as The Wonder Years, Saved by the Bell, Roseanna and Married\u2026With Children. His first recurring role was in Gideon\u2019s Crossing.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Dane made his big-screen acting debut, starring in The Basket.<\/p>\n<p>Grey\u2019s Anatomy would change his life forever. He was cast as Mark Sloan in the show\u2019s second season in 2006, which, at first, was supposed to be only a small role.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23223\" src=\"https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-147605615-1143x1536-1-223x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-147605615-1143x1536-1-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-147605615-1143x1536-1-762x1024.jpg 762w, https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-147605615-1143x1536-1-768x1032.jpg 768w, https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-147605615-1143x1536-1.jpg 1143w\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, due to the fans\u2019 overwhelming reaction, he became a part of the main cast. While his acting was good, many fans also found his character very attractive, and Dane became somewhat of a sex symbol. In 2012, he left the show as his character was killed off.<\/p>\n<p>Star on Grey\u2019s Anatomy<br \/>\n\u201cIt just kind of made sense,\u201d he told Glamour in 2019 about leaning into the character\u2019s sensual vibes in real life. \u201cI felt like I had an artistic obligation to not shy away from that part of the character. And to a degree, there\u2019s a lot of me in that guy. But I think at the end of the day, you tend to give people what they\u2019re asking for, because it\u2019s the path of least resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dane would become a household name among younger audiences in 2019 after landing a role in the successful series Euphoria. In April last year, he was diagnosed with ALS. In a statement at the time, he said, \u201cI am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Grey\u2019s Anatomy star has since been very outspoken about the disease, which he, in October, called \u201cnasty.\u201d He was set to appear at their reunion at the Emmy Awards, but sadly, Dane had to cancel after a bad fall that left him hospitalized.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23225\" src=\"https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-2155365564-1-217x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-2155365564-1-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/readupdatednews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-2155365564-1.jpg 742w\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cALS is a nasty disease,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I was in the hospital during the Emmys getting stitches put in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric Dane revealed first ALS symptoms<br \/>\nEric Dane has been outspoken about his diagnosis, and in June, while appearing on Good Morning America, he revealed the first symptoms he felt. In the beginning, however, he didn\u2019t think much about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started experiencing some weakness in my right hand, and I didn\u2019t really think anything of it at the time,\u201d Eric Dane explained. \u201cI thought maybe I had been texting too much or my hand was fatigued. But a few weeks later I noticed it had gotten a little worse, so I went and saw a hand specialist, and he sent me to another hand specialist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor continued, \u201cI went and saw a neurologist and they sent me to another neurologist and said this is way above [his] pay grade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, February 19, his family announced that he had passed away. Eric Dane is survived by his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and daughters, Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14.<\/p>\n<p>Rest in peace, Eric Dane.
