Actor Eric Dane, renowned for his roles as Dr. Mark Sloan in Grey's Anatomy and Cal Jacobs in Euphoria, died on February 19, 2026, at the age of 53. His family confirmed his passing after a courageous battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurological condition diagnosed in April 2025.

I love you."
