Eric Dane Misses Emmys, Then Urges $1 Billion Push for ALS Research in New Video

A day after skipping a planned reunion, he rolled out an I AM ALS appeal targeting $1 billion to speed research.

Overview

  • The Grey’s Anatomy alum was slated to present with Jesse Williams, but producers said they were told he wasn’t able to make it and Williams presented alone.
  • Emmy producers scrapped the planned Grey’s reference, and Dane’s representatives did not provide an explanation.
  • In Monday’s clip, Dane called himself “an actor, a father, and now a person living with ALS” and promoted I AM ALS’s Push for Progress goal of $1 billion over three years.
  • He urged renewal of the ACT for ALS law and wider access to promising treatments, directing viewers to donate and get involved.
  • The video showed slowed or slurred speech and arm movements as reported, aligning with his previously disclosed progression since April, including loss of function in his right arm and weakening on the left.
