Dane expressed how fortunate he feels to still be able to work, with plans to return to the set of Euphoria for its upcoming third season, set to begin production soon. Best known as Cal Jacobs in the HBO series, he had previously won acclaim for his role as Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy and has starred in other notable projects including Charmed, The Last Ship, and films like Marley & Me and Valentine's Day.
Family is a key source of strength as Dane navigates this diagnosis alongside his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, and their two children. ALS, also referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a serious degenerative condition that leads to muscle weakness and eventual paralysis. Though there remains no definitive cure for ALS, individuals diagnosed often live three to five years post-diagnosis, with some exceeding that timeframe.
Dane's courageous openness about his health has prompted an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues alike as he prepares to continue his work while facing this challenging health battle.
