Eric Dane on ‘Countdown,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Euphoria’ Season 3: ‘I Never Considered Myself an Artist Until I Started Making “Euphoria”‘
Eric Dane speaks out about 'Countdown,' his new show, as well as Season 3 of 'Euphoria,' in production now
The actor — perhaps best known for playing Jacob Elordi’s complicated dad on “ Euphoria ” — steps into the role of Nathan Blythe on Amazon Prime’s “ Countdown,” launching June 25. On the series, an act of violence against a Department of Homeland Security officer spurs the creation of a task force across law enforcement agencies; their objective is to thwart a catastrophic plot against the city of Los Angeles. The role capitalizes on a certain authoritative quality in the straight-backed, iron-jawed actor, who’s played an Army ranger in 2024’s “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” and a captain in the 2010s series “The Last Ship.” Dane’s career has otherwise been defined by the roles of sexy surgeon “McSteamy” (also known as Dr. Mark Sloan) on “Grey’s Anatomy” from 2006 to 2012 and as “Euphoria”’s Cal Jacobs, whose conflicted sexuality and coiled rage make the case that problems don’t go away when you graduate high school.
