Jensen Ackles Raves About Working with Eric Dane on Countdown Following His ALS Diagnosis: ‘He’s a Total Stud’ (Exclusive)

Dane’s appearance at the Countdown premiere comes after he revealed exclusively to PEOPLE back in April that he’s been diagnosed with ALS, adding that he was “grateful” for his family as he “navigates this next chapter.”

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working,” Dane, who also stars as the Jacobs family patriarch on Euphoria, added.

Dane is married to Rebecca Gayheart, and the couple share two children, Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13.
