Eric Dane's Final Act: ALS Awareness Documentary
9 Apr
Summary
- Actor Eric Dane stars in a posthumous ALS awareness short film.
- The film advocates for the reauthorization and funding of ACT for ALS.
- Ring Every Bell aligns with ALS Awareness Month in May.
Eric Dane, known for his roles in "Grey's Anatomy" and "Euphoria," appears posthumously in the documentary short "Ring Every Bell." This film is part of a national public service campaign to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the rare degenerative disease that claimed his life.
Spearheaded by the advocacy organization I AM ALS, the short film champions the reauthorization of the ACT for ALS bill. In the documentary, Dane emphasizes the critical need for the bill's full funding to ensure continued access to investigational therapies for patients. His advocacy work, including previous trips to Washington D.C. in the fall of 2025, supported this cause.
"Ring Every Bell" is timed for release during ALS Awareness Month in May. It features a never-before-seen clip with "Grey's Anatomy" cast members and other advocates. Dane's partnership with I AM ALS also included the Push for Progress initiative, aimed at accelerating research and securing federal funding for ALS.
Before his passing on February 19, Dane publicly revealed his ALS diagnosis in April 2025 and actively worked with I AM ALS. His final advocacy efforts underscore the urgency of legislative action and increased funding for ALS research and treatment.
