Actor Eric Dane, best known as Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan from Grey’s Anatomy, missed the 2025 Emmy Awards after a fall related to his battle with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). The 52-year-old was hospitalized in Los Angeles for stitches but is in stable condition.

Dane, who revealed his diagnosis in April 2025, expressed disappointment at missing the show’s 20th anniversary reunion, while co-star Jesse Williams paid tribute to him during the ceremony. Since going public, Dane has become an advocate for ALS awareness, urging lawmakers to renew funding for neurodegenerative disease research. Despite losing movement on one side of his body, he remains determined to continue acting, confirming plans to return in Euphoria’s upcoming third season.
