Eric Dane Feeling ‘Groovy’ on 1st Red Carpet Since ALS Diagnosis (Exclusive)

Eric Dane spoke to “Extra” at the L.A. premiere of his new crime drama series “Countdown.”

Days after speaking out for the first time about his ALS battle, Dane was proud to be stepping out to support the project, saying he was feeling “pretty groovy.”

Eric dished on how well the cast and crew bonded, sharing that there were plenty of "shenanigans" on set! "They're a fun group of people," he said.

Did he ever break character?  Eric confessed, “Often… all the time!” He revealed, “In fact, we try to make each other break character.”

He also teased the series, saying, “I think if you're into action-thriller, high-octane, kinetic-action energy with a really good, great story, this is a show for you.”

“Extra” also spoke with Jensen Ackles, who reacted to Dane bravely speaking out about his ALS diagnosis.

Jensen shared, “I couldn't be more proud to call him a friend, couldn't be more proud to have gotten to share this experience with him, to continue to share it with him. He is  just an incredible human being. I couldn't be more proud of what he's doing, how he's handling it with just such grace.”
