On the Nov. 24 episode of the long-running procedural, the Grey's Anatomy alum, who was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, earlier this year, gave fans a vulnerable glimpse into his new reality as he portrayed a firefighter learning to acclimate to life with the same diagnosis.
His honest portrayal had fans gushing over his "brilliant' performance on social media, with one declaring, "He deserves an award for his emotional performance."
"Eric didn’t act, he gave a courageous, haunting and real life look at ALS," another agreed. "The episode brought me to tears. Thank you Eric Dane and Brilliant Minds for shining a much needed light on ALS."
Dane Has Been Experiencing Symptoms of ALS for Nearly 2 Years Now
His first indication that something was wrong was weakness in his right hand. “I didn’t really think anything of it at the time,” he said of the symptom. “I thought maybe I had been texting too much and my hand was fatigued.” Nine months later, his neurologist had an answer.
More than a year and a half since his symptoms first began, Dane has said he's down to “one functioning arm,” while his "right side has completely stopped working” and his left side is actively becoming weaker.
He's Not Going Anywhere Anytime Soon
The actor has made it clear he has no intentions of retiring any time soon. In fact, he's made it clear he's determined to fight. He's even spoken with California Congressman Eric Swalwell about the difficulties patients face when it comes to treatment options, revealing that the diagnosis can "preclude [patients] from being part of these clinical trials" and pushing for more access.
