From 2006 to 2012, Dane played plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sloan—also known as “McSteamy.”
"I didn't leave so much as I think I was let go," he said to host Dax Shepard, who noted Dane was “struggling” with drug and alcohol addiction at the time.
He then clarified he was let go from the show—which is currently airing its 22nd season— due to financial reasons.
Dane continued, “I wasn’t the same guy they had hired. So I had understood when I was let go. And [showrunner] Shonda [Rhimes] was really great. She protected us fiercely. She protected us publicly. She protected us privately. … But I was probably fired. It wasn’t ceremoniously like, ‘You’re fired,’ it was just like, ‘You’re not coming back.'”
Before exiting the show in 2012, Dane entered a treatment center for an addiction to prescription drugs, which he developed following an injury.
He returned for a guest appearance—albeit in a dream sequence— in season 17 alongside his on-screen love interest Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), who also died in the accident.
Dane died at the age of 53 on Thursday, Feb. 19 following a battle with ALS, according a statement from patient-led movement I AM ALS shared with Parade.
“Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight,” the statement continued. “He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”
