Eric Dane Biography
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).
