These young adults are so talented. It blows me away every time I watch their work.”The “Grey’s Anatomy” alum, once best known as McSteamy, goes by a different moniker if you ask Gen Z: Cal Jacobs. “It’s revitalizing and refreshing,” he says.“Had last season been my only season, it would have been kind of weird, because it would have left an impression on them where there’s this creepy older man sort of character,” Dane continues. “But I think they understand Cal: I think this generation of kids growing up is so precocious, I think they get Cal.

And I think they can identify with Cal in a weird way.” The Season 2 finale of the high school drama, “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name,” sees Cal enter a tense confrontation with his son Nate (Jacob Elordi) — before being busted by the police (also courtesy of Nate).In an interview with Variety, Dane breaks down the emotional scene he shared with Elordi, learning Cal’s backstory, and what’s next for the Jacobs family patriarch.This finale saw a very intense, charged scene with Cal and Nate.
