"Dane joined the medical series in its second season. He was initially meant to have a temporary role, but the public's enthusiastic response turned him into a recurring character. He often said to anyone who would listen that he adored the character one that made him a household name (and a wealthy man), as well as a national and international sex symbol."
"He loved the role and felt there was a lot of himself in that sensual doctor. But he also insisted he didn't want to play it for his entire career, because that would ultimately be the opposite of what it means to be an actor. In the end, he left Grey's Anatomy in 2012, at a time when, as he later explained, he was going through a difficult period of addiction and had become an expensive member of the cast."
