In his last television role before his death, Eric Daneplayed a firefighter and father battling ALS in Brilliant Minds.
The Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria actor passed away on Thursday, Feb. 19 from ALS at 53-years-old. In Nov. 2025, Dane guest starred on the NBC medical drama Brilliant Minds as Matthew Ramati. Dane's character seeks treatment from Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto) as he hides his diagnosis from his family.
"We really wanted to honor him and his experience and be really truthful about it. [We] didn’t want to sensationalize in any way," show runner Michael Grassi said of the episode. "We really wanted to honor Eric and step up and do this for him. Cast, crew [and] writers — everybody really stepped up in such a beautiful way."
Grassi shared with The Hollywood Reporter in Nov. 2025, that Dane's team has reached out and expressed that he was a fan of the show and wanted to be involved. Grassi and Dane then began having conversations as to what his guest starring role would look like.
"We really wanted to get all the language right, especially when talking about something like ALS, where yes, there is currently no cure, but people are currently working very hard to find a cure," Grassi said.
Grassi also shared that the episode was co-written by Dr. Daniela Lamas and he also received input from two ALS doctors and two writers who had family members living with ALS.
Dane will also be appearing posthumously in the third season of Euphoria which is set to premiere on Sunday, April 12.
