"He died on Thursday at the age of 53, just ten months after revealing his diagnosis of ALS. "Eric Dane was a beloved member of the Shondaland and Grey's Anatomy families," Rhimes began in an Instagram post. "He was truly a gifted actor whose portrayal of Dr. Mark Sloan left an indelible mark on the series and on audiences around the world.""
"Grey's leading man, Patrick Dempsey, the McDreamy to the McSteamy, was in close contact with Dane, telling Virgin Radio UK that he was texting him last week. He explained how Dane was bedridden and found it difficult to speak and swallow. But despite both being sex symbols on Grey's Anatomy, the two never felt competitive against each other. "I'm always going to remember those moments of fun that we had together and celebrate the joy that he did bring to people's lives," he shared."
