American actor Eric Dane, who hales from San Francisco, California, married actress Rebecca Gayheart on October 29, 2004. Eric made his television debut in 1993 on "The Wonder Years" and also had small parts on the TV series "Silk Stalkings" and "Married With Children." He also has been a recurring guest star as Jason Dean in the hit show "Charmed" as well as Dr. Mark Sloan on the show "Grey's Anatomy." In 2006, he landed the character of Jamie Madrox (Multiple Man) in the movie "X-Men 3:The Last Stand."
Like a lot of young, hopeful actors, Eric Dane set his sites on Hollywood after showing his stuff in high-school theater productions. He moved to L.A. after graduation, and immediately started paying his dues appearing in things like the TV movie Seduced by Madness: The Diane Borchardt Story and The Basket. Almost ten years of getting by with minor appearances finally paid off for Dane in 2003, when he began appearing regularly on the popular sci-fi dramedy Charmed. He would continue to appear on the show through the next year, a year that would also see him get married to actress Rebecca Gayheart. He appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006, which was, oddly enough, directed by Brett Ratner, his new wife's former fiancé, and that same year he joined the cast of the wildly popular series Grey's Anatomy. Dane played womanizing plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sloan (aka "McSteamy"), whose prior affair with Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd (Kate Walsh) contributed to the end of her marriage to his colleague and former best friend, Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey).
