Eric Dane spoke with Brad Falchuk for a wide-ranging interview nearly four months before his death at 53. "We reached out about him doing the show and then, as with all the guests the request is always, 'Will you just sit down with me and we'll chat a little bit about the show and see if there is a rapport?'" Falchuk, 54, told Extra on Friday, February 20, of his Famous Last Words series for Netflix. "Eric and I sat down and had dinner at his house, and we connected very deeply, very quickly." Dane, who announced in April 2025 that he had been diagnosed with ALS, died on Thursday, February 19.
