Known for his portrayal of Cal Jacobs in the hit HBO series Euphoria, Dane is anticipated to begin filming for the show's third season. His career also includes notable performances as Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy, Jason Dean in Charmed, and Captain Tom Chandler in The Last Ship, along with roles in films like Marley & Me and Valentine's Day. He shares a family life with actress Rebecca Gayheart, and together they have two children.

ALS, also referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, leads to the degeneration of motor nerves, resulting in progressive muscle paralysis. Symptoms may start with twitching or weakness in limbs and can escalate to challenges with speech, eating, walking, and breathing. Currently, there is no cure for ALS, and patients typically have a life expectancy of three to five years post-diagnosis, though some may live longer.

Dane’s commitment to his career amidst this significant diagnosis serves as an inspiration, shining a light on the importance of strong familial support during tough times.
