You'd know Eric Dane from his McSteamy moment from Grey's Anatomy, or as Jacob Elordi's dad, Cal Jacobs, in Euphoria. Enjoying quite the run in the TV and series business, the star recently became the center of attention for a heartbreaking health update. He shared his diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in April 2025, with uncertainty on how his career will play out.

In his first TV interview following his very personal announcement, the 52-year-old spoke about how real it got for him. "I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening. It's not a dream," shared the actor on the Good Morning America episode preview.
He added that he does not plan on letting it slow him down, in an emotional and wishful tone, letting the world know of his positive thought process.

Talking about what's next for him to Variety, amid his terrifying ALS revelation, Eric Dane displayed his resolve to march right ahead and not let his health slow him down. "I am ready and willing to do just about anything, but I have limitations that I understand will preclude me from playing certain roles." However, he's not backing down, adding, "As far as that (roles in Euphoria and Countdown) goes, I'm pretty capable."
