"The character first appeared in 2006, in the second series of the show, as a one-off visitor to the fictional Seattle Grace hospital, to which his former best friend, the neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd (played by Patrick Dempsey), had moved following Mark's affair with his wife. Mark's flirting with Derek's new girlfriend, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), leads his old pal to punch him in the face."
"Another member of staff gives Mark the nickname McSteamy, a more raunchy variation of the McDreamy name coined for Derek because of his good looks and charm. This paved the way for Dane to become a cast regular in the third series. He first made an impact stepping out of a hotel shower, soaking wet."
Eric Dane became widely known for playing plastic surgeon Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy, a role that began as a one-off in 2006 and developed into a regular part. The character arrived after an affair with the neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd and provoked conflict by flirting with Meredith Grey. The role earned Dane a sex-symbol image and the nickname McSteamy. A memorable towel-and-shower scene boosted his profile. Dane previously played Wyatt Cooper in Gideon's Crossing. Mark Sloan was portrayed as a womanising surgeon with an on-off relationship with Lexie Grey and a daughter with Callie Torres.
