Oh man.. ALS.. OMFG.. This—— The true intent of this statement is so hard to say in text, but I am so happy for them that they only lived with ALS for a Year. I would kill myself immediately upon being diagnosed with that disease. I am happy for their release.
Terrible news.
Like many my first exposure to Eric Dane was as “McSteamy” on Grey’s Anatomy. He played the man you love to hate, but you always knew he was a good guy. His death on the show was probably one of the hardest of any character, and a lot of people die on Grey’s Anatomy. His death marked the end of the golden era for that show and he played the part expertly.
Years later I was surprised when he appeared on Euphoria. Again, such a great character in a complex show. While the focus of the show is the younger generation, among the older adults his character really stood out.
I really thought we had many more years.
RIP Eric Dane.
