Eric Dane was forced to miss an event this weekend amid his battle with ALS.
The "Grey's Anatomy" actor, 53, was honored with the Dean and Kathleen Rasmussen Advocate of the Year Award at the ALS Network's Champions for Cures and Care Gala on Saturday, Jan. 24, in California.
Dane was expected to attend the gala but had to drop out "due to the physical realities of living with ALS," the ALS Network said, while noting his "presence was deeply felt throughout the evening." Aaron Lazar, an actor and singer who has also been diagnosed with ALS, accepted the award on Dane's behalf, and Dane spoke in a prerecorded message.
"This award is not just for me, it's for my beautiful loved ones who are fighting with me, and it's for every person who has faced ALS with courage," Dane said, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Eric Dane played Dr. Mark Sloan, aka "McSteamy," on "Grey's Anatomy" for six seasons, but he's not done wooing his audiences yet. In 2025, Dane returned to TV on another medical drama, making his "Brilliant Minds" debut as "Bronx-Gen's favorite silver fox." Dane revealed in April that he'd been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS.

Eric Dane played Dr. Mark Sloan, aka "McSteamy," on "Grey's Anatomy" for six seasons, but he's not done wooing his audiences yet. In 2025, Dane returned to TV on another medical drama, making his "Brilliant Minds" debut as "Bronx-Gen's favorite silver fox." Dane revealed in April that he'd been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS. See the actor's career in the spotlight from the early 2000's to now, including here as he attends the "Countdown" premiere and afterparty on June 18, 2025, in Los Angeles.
Dane, best known for his role as Dr. Mark Sloan on "Grey's Anatomy," first revealed that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in April. "I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter," he told People magazine.
ALS is a nervous system disease affecting "nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord," which leads to a loss of muscle control and gets worse over time, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms can include difficulty walking and tripping and falling.
"Eric has transformed personal challenges into powerful advocacy," Sheri Strahl, the president and CEO of the ALS Network, said in a statement. "He has turned his ALS journey into a catalyst for progress, uniting people with his voice, his heart, and his determination. The ALS community is stronger, more visible, and more hopeful because of him."

Dane has continued working as an actor since announcing his diagnosis, including in the upcoming third season of "Euphoria" and the medical drama "Brilliant Minds." The star has also been an advocate for people with the disease. In October, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with the I AM ALS organization and Rep. Eric Swalwell.
"I want to ring every bell," Dane said in a video shared by Swalwell. "I have two daughters at home. I want to see them graduate college, get married, maybe even have grandkids. You know, I want to be there for all that, so I'm going to fight until the last breath on this one."

According to Mayo Clinic, Ménière's disease is a "disorder of the inner ear that can lead to dizzy spells (vertigo) and hearing loss." It's a chronic condition that can be relieved with various treatments and medications.">
The "Bang Bang" singer was dignosed with Ménière's disease in 2020 after being hospitalized for having problems with her hearing and balance. "I woke up and felt like I was completely deaf in my right ear, couldn't walk in a straight line," Jessie J said on Instagram Live. "Basically I got told I had Ménière's syndrome."
The singer gave her followers an update on her health in June 2021 saying that the steroids she took for her ear problems caused her to have major acid reflux and nodules on her vocal chords.
"Every doctor has told me if I sing ... the nodules will just come right back," she wrote on June 18 on her Instagram story. "My biggest lesson my whole life has been my health."
She added: "I know I'm being faced with this because I can handle it."
