Eric Dane, who played Dr. Mark Sloan on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ for seven seasons, opened up about being written off the long-running medical drama in 2012
While it seems like Grey’s Anatomy has been on the air for what feels like forever , there is one character that has never been forgotten: Eric Dane’s Dr. Mark Sloan.
The character was brought on in a 2006 season 2 episode and stayed on until 2012’s season 9 premiere, where he tragically died from injuries sustained in a plane crash. “I think I was let go,” the Euphoria actor said, adding that at the time of his departure he was suffering from addiction issues.However, he insisted that the producers “didn’t let me go because of that.”“Although it definitely didn’t help. I was starting to become, as most of these actors who have spent significant time on a show, you start to become very expensive for the network,” he explained.
Ellen Pompeo has starred as the titular doctor, Meredith Grey, since the show’s inception in 2005. She took a step back from being a series regular last year but remains an executive producer, a frequent guest star and narrates each episode.
