ADD QUOTES
- Eric: I have this big pink cross to bear. I absolutely loved playing Will. There was nothing hard about it. It was wonderful. But the only downside is the aftermath. I meet all these film executives who tell me how much they loved Will and Grace and say they never missed an episode. Then they say, "so what can we do for you?" What they could do for me is hire me to play someone else.
  Edit Share Hide
- Eric: I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through. When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part. Not because of his sexuality, but in every other way, I'm just like Will Truman.

- (when asked what's the best thing about being Canadian) Eric: George Bush doesn't run our country.
