Eric Dane hospitalized after a fall related to his ALS condition

Gray’s Anatomy star Eric Dane missed this year’s Emmys after suffering a fall linked to his ALS diagnosis. The actor, best known as Dr. McSteamy, was expected to join the cast for the show’s 20th anniversary but instead spent the night in the hospital getting stitches.

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a rare and terminal neurodegenerative disease that leads to the gradual loss of motor control. Dane revealed his diagnosis in April 2025, calling it “a nasty disease” in an interview with The Washington Post.
