Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Eric: The coolest achievement for me is that I actually get to do this for a living. Everyday I am thankful for this opportunity to do what I love to do. There are many people who would love to be in my shoes and I really try not to lose sight of that.
-
Eric: Kissing scenes are always a little awkward and I don't know any actors that look forward to them; you just want to get it over with as soon as possible no matter who it's with. Some fans may think it's a perk of the job but it's quite the opposite.
-
Eric: (on his former co-star Kristin Kreuk) Kristin is great. Not only is she really good at what she does, she is an honest and genuine person as well.
-
Eric: I'll tell you, "Flash" is the best nickname that I've had for most of my life.
-
Eric: (on his new show "Flash Gordon") I think it's going to appeal to a lot of people. It's been amazing, in my initial experiences talking about the show, how many men in their 40s into their 60s just light up when you mention Flash Gordon. And I don't think there's a 13-year-old boy in the world who isn't going to think this is the coolest show ever. Frickin' ray guns! How cool is that?
-
Eric: When I was a kid, I never got into comic books. I was too lost in my own fantasy world to be reading about others.
