Eric Dane and Dan Tate in Ring Every Bell documentary courtesy of I AM ALS In another final role for Eric Dane following his Feb. 19 death after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria actor is set to appear in an upcoming documentary short, Ring Every Bell, as part of a national public service campaign to raise awareness for the rare degenerative disease that claimed his life.
The short film has been spearheaded by I AM ALS, an advocacy organization that Dane had already been working with after he publicly revealed his ALS diagnosis in April 2025 and as he battled the devastating disease up until his recent death.

That advocacy role will continue with his appearance in the short documentary by director Christopher Burke, as it chronicles Dane’s role as Ambassador to advance the reauthorization of ACT for ALS (Accelerating Critical Therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), which was reintroduced in the House of Representatives earlier this week.
In the short film, Dane appears on screen to back the reauthorization of ACT for ALS, saying, “We have a bill that needs to get to the floor for reauthorization. And then it needs to get fully funded because if it doesn’t then people who are dependent on some of these investigational therapies no longer have access to them.” He added, “I’m very fortunate to get great medical care and access to all of these investigational therapies, etc., which is why it’s so important to me that this bill gets pushed through because it gives access to people who wouldn’t normally have access.”
The release of Ring Every Bell is timed to ALS Awareness Month in May, and includes a never-before-seen clip featuring cast members from Grey’s Anatomy and other Hollywood and ALS community advocates. As part of his advocacy before his death, Dane traveled to Washington, D.C., on a number of occasions in the fall of 2025 to support renewing the ACT For ALS with the I AM ALS organization.
Before his passing, he also partnered with the nonprofit on their Push for Progress initiative, which focused on accelerating ALS research, expanding access to treatments and securing an additional $1 billion in federal funding for ALS over the next three years.
