Actor Eric Dane, beloved by millions for his role as Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy, has shown extraordinary courage in the face of devastating news.
Dane made his first on-screen appearance since his diagnosis in a Thanksgiving episode of the NBC drama Brilliant Minds.
What happened behind the scenes, however, became the moment no one expected: a 10-minute standing ovation so emotional and heartfelt that even the show’s creator said he had never seen anything like it in his career.
