What does Eric hope to accomplish?


On the episode tonight he was the only one who did not do the monologue in front of the casting agents. He has sat out almost everythign these guys have had to do. All of the other guys seem serious about getting back into either acting or music. It seems like Eric is in the house just to sort of be a life coach to the other guys or something.

I think he's looking more to be a "lifestyle guru" and promotes his health regiment- he was never an actor. Kind of like Bob Greene on Oprah.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

I think pixeleen might be right, but it is also possible they just don't show the stuff Eric is doing. It just couldn't be getting edited out

He packed up and left a couple of weeks ago; now he's back. Can anyone tell me what happened, because apparently I missed something.

I put the fun in dysfunction!

reply

There was some sorta charity auction and Eric took his shirt off for a bigger bid or something, yet somehow afterward he regretted his decision and left the show for one episode.

He really dosent fit in here, almost as much as Jamie Walters who could probably easily get a recording deal somewhere if he tried.

It was surprising to hear that Eric lost out on the role of Robin in one of the Batman movies because the studio thought that he would upstage Val Kilmer.

reply

Wow, what an amazing actor he must be! Outacting Val Kilmer! Too bad it's all lies.

Yeah too bad, but it was funny listening to him telling how he just missed this big break and all the other "idols" were shaking their heads in disbelief. He might have read for the part or something but even that's hard to swallow.

After that bullschizer Batman story, I swear I thought he was gonna tell about how he leased out the Brooklyn Bridge, or created Tylnol gellcaps.

They shoulda just let Eric go back to obscurity.

Besides, there wasnt much in the casting of Robin since Marlon Wayans chance at playing the character was dropped in Batman Returns.

LOL I thought it was so hilarious. The fact that he tried to make everyone believe that he was so in demand that he could have even played Batman. My goodness...Not only is he a has been but he's also delusional.

Not I said the cat...
