Eric Dane, known to millions as \u201cMcSteamy,\u201d had been scheduled to appear but was forced to withdraw after a fall at home sent him to the hospital. The accident, a result of complications from ALS\u2014the \u201cnasty disease,\u201d as he calls it\u2014left him sidelined from an event he\u2019d been \u201creally looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"1263\">The 52-year-old actor revealed his ALS diagnosis earlier this year, thanking his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and their daughters, Billie and Georgia, for standing by his side. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a rare and incurable neurodegenerative illness that gradually weakens the body\u2019s muscles, eventually affecting speech, mobility, and breathing. \u201cI don\u2019t think this is the end of my story,\u201d Dane said in an emotional interview. \u201cIt\u2019s on me the second I wake up, but I don\u2019t feel like this is the end of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1697\">Despite the physical toll, Dane has vowed to keep working and to use his platform for awareness. \u201cI\u2019m going to ride this \u2019till the wheels fall off,\u201d he told <em data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1432\">E!
