While exclusively speaking to Parade ahead of the premiere for his latest Amazon Prime Video series, Hotel Costiera, Williams, 44, opened up about his close friend and what it was like unexpectedly presenting without Dane at this year's 77th Primetime Emmy Awards.
"He was rooting for me," continues Williams, who was scheduled to take part in a Grey's Anatomy 20-year anniversary segment with Dane at the Emmys. "If I hadn't heard from him or there was some mystery [surrounding his absence], that might be a little more jarring, but we were talking."
Dane was set to join Williams on Sunday, Sept. 14, to present the award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. But the 52-year-old, who starred as Dr. Mark Sloan in the hit medical drama, was absent seemingly due to his ALS diagnosis.
Williams, who played surgical resident Jackson Avery for 12 seasons and has since returned for a handful of guest appearances, spent a few seasons together with Dane as full-time cast members and has nothing but fond memories.

"I think that there's people in your life that you see all the time, but never really know," Williams adds. "The people you see twice a year that you pick right up [with from] where you left off, and you have really a meaningful, present connection. He's in that latter category, which is really nice."

"It really was a dream come true," Williams says of the experience working on the action-packed series, adding that he's living out a "childhood dream."
Hotel Costiera premieres Wednesday, Sept. 24, on Amazon Prime Video.
