The actor was born in 1972 in San Francisco, he found acting accidentally during high school. In an interview with Gulf Times, he recalled how he initially focused on water polo, and later became roped into playing Joe Keller in a school production of All My Sons, describing it as the moment he realized he wanted to pursue acting.

Aside from his role in Grey’s Anatomy, he made appearances on series including “Saved by the Bell,” “Roseanne,” “Silk Stalking” and “Charmed”. In 2014, he took on a leading role in the TNT drama “The Last Ship,” which was halted in 2017 due to Dane’s battle with depression. More recently, he portrayed Cal Jacobs, father to Jacob Elordi’s character, in HBO’s “Euphoria” and starred in the crime thriller series “Countdown” last year.

During his time with ALS, he became an advocate for creating awareness of the illness. He spoke in a news conference in Washington on health insurance prior authorization. “Some of you may know me from TV shows, such as ‘Grey’s Anatomy, which I play a doctor. But I am here today to speak briefly as a patient battling ALS,” he said in June 2025.

After that, the ALS Network named Dane the recipient of their advocate of the year award in September, acknowledging his commitment to raising awareness and support for people living with ALS.

A memoir by Eric Dane, titled Book of Days, will be published later this year by Maria Shriver’s The Open Field, an imprint of Penguin Random House. According to the publisher, the memoir reflects on pivotal moments in Dane’s life, including his first day on Grey’s Anatomy, the births of his two daughters, and the period when he learned of his ALS diagnosis.

The conversation included one of her most direct updates since welcoming her son, Jack Blues Bieber, with husband Justin Bieber. Hailey shared that motherhood has been a positive adjustment, explaining that much of her schedule now revolves around family life alongside her ongoing professional commitments.

During the interview, she also confirmed that she would like to have more children, though she emphasized that she and Justin are approaching that decision gradually rather than working toward a fixed timeline. She noted that each stage of parenting brings new experiences, and she prefers to allow the process to unfold naturally.

Photos published by multiple entertainment outlets show the couple sitting closely together inside a local restaurant, where they were seen talking, smiling, and exchanging kisses while keeping their outing low-key. The restaurant was reportedly closed to the public during their visit, allowing them to spend time privately away from crowds.

The appearance marks one of their few public sightings in recent weeks and follows reports that the pair recently traveled together after Valentine’s Day. While neither Jenner nor Chalamet has publicly discussed their relationship in detail, their occasional outings have continued to draw attention across entertainment media.

For the evening, Jenner opted for a neutral-toned outer layer styled for a relaxed night out, while Chalamet kept his look casual in a dark hoodie, consistent with his off-duty appearances throughout the current promotional cycle.

The couple was first linked in 2023 and has largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, choosing selective public appearances rather than frequent red carpet outings. Their latest sighting reinforces that approach, with the pair maintaining a private dynamic while continuing to step out together from time to time.
