    I like the charisma he brings to the role & humor hide show

    Eric brings in a lot of humour and charisma to the role. He's basically a good guy with an outwardly bad boy image---showing again that looks can be deceiving. I especially liked the episode on his boat---he finally got a chance to really be in an episode for a substantial period. The other episode that he was very good in was the episode in which he aged & almost died. He showed a lot of skill. Eric has done other things that I liked--Conviction for example, and I hope that he gets futher opportunities to demonstrate his talent to his fans in Haven.

    Eric Balfour is a great actor! hide show

    This guy is such a fox on Haven that I never miss this show. Please keep him in every episode and let's get him together with Ms. FBI for sure. Eric makes this show so much more interesting!! I saw him in 24 and several other shows and he was a great character actor. Now I can't wait to see him in more shows. I love his Charater in Haven- especially the sexy exchanges with his co-star. I hope to see ERic in lots of shows and would love to see him be in the leading role. Go Eric.

    Talented and Has a lot of Potential! hide show

    I think that Eric is a great actor and is an up and comer. Who hasn't gotten his big break just yet. But that role will come and get him. As it took years for George Clooney to break into this industry and look at where he is right now. Eric I think is underrated and think he has a lot of potential to be like Clooney. If he can find that breakout role in him. And choose carefully, think that he is poised for stardom and looks to be the next best thing. Just hasn't found the role that could give him that so far.

    Review hide show

    I know Eric for his role on "Six Feet Under" and "24" and without a doubt one performance can certainly outdo the other. I thought his performace on Six Feet Under was far better then 24, but he still did a good acting job on both of the shows that I saw him on.

    He had a very hard role on Six Feet Under, playing a drug addict who was in love with one of the other members of the show. He was always in trouble and didnt really give his heart to the crowd, but that was simply the role that he was given and I think that he played it very well.

    As far as 24 he never really stood out to me as someone who I would want to stay around for multiple seasons in a row. He was a good one-hit wonder, but his kisses with Nadia on the sixth season felt too much like old school Tony and michelle for me to really care. Still, hsi acting was always top-notch...the writing isnt his fault.

    Eric Balfour is one of those very talented actors who has done a ton of work, but he's never starred in anything so you might not notice him. He's been in many television shows ("24" and "The O.C.") and many more movies ("What Women Want" and "Can't Hardly Wait"). Eric can pull off both comedic and dramatic roles with ease.
