Actor Eric Dane's unwavering advocacy for ALS was the most powerful role of his career
"So, you have to live now. The present is all you have. Treasure it. Cherish every moment. The two of you are different people, but you're both strong and resilient. You inherited resilience from me. That's my superpower. I get up again and again and again,"
"He became the face to do that. In this moment, we together are carrying forward. We are carrying forward his legacy,"
"We have him in all his glory on 'Grey's Anatomy,' so when you watch it, he's still very much alive,"
Eric Dane, best known for roles on Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria, died after a ten-month battle with ALS following his public diagnosis. He continued to work and actively raised awareness about ALS while advocating for research and a cure. The ALS Network honored him with its top advocacy award; he watched a dedication video featuring Ellen Pompeo but could not attend due to ALS-related physical limitations. Dane recorded a final, private message to his two teenage daughters urging them to live in the present and embrace resilience. Colleagues including Patrick Dempsey and Shonda Rhimes publicly paid tribute.
