  • WELCOME TO THE ERIC ROBERTS FORUM! Also, what's accepted on the forums.

    WELCOME. I expressed my full welcomes in the blog so I can move on from that. I'm just here to say what I find acceptable on these boards. Sorry I have to do all this crappy stuff but someone has to (preferebly the editor): Swearing isn't tolerated. Censoring is. You can censor a word howeverMore you want. I don't care about words like bloody or crap but we won't go into the "bad" ones or I'll be moderated. Sorry but off-topic posting is illegal. Every post on here has to have something to do with him or a project he's doing/done. I, unlike other editors and TV.com staff, let unlimited games on this forum. Your only really allowed to have two games on each forum but not many people stick to that. Again, it has to be in context with Eric. Not that anyone coming on here to do this will look at this (and care about this) but no flaming! No duplicate threads. I'll lock duplicates. Sorry, I had to be a bit of a drag then but as I said someone has to lay down the rules. Submission rules are in the blog. So, my final words are "Good Luck and Enjoy". Arriverderci One more rule! You must like Eric.

    Plays my Favorite DP character in my Favorite Episode. hide show

    I Haven't seen much of his other voice roles, but I was amazed,in love with the way he played Phantom's voice in "The Ultimate Enemy", My Favorite Danny Phantom Episode. HE made us fans fall in love with it at first time we heard it- words cannot descibe how awesome he made htat voice. Thank you,Eric Roberts, for giving an undescriabley awesome voice to an awesome villian! I'm amazed by how he did the laugh, his voice never failed to amaze us and never dissapointed us for a second of acting! I enjoyed every single minute of his voice acting!He gave life to the voice of sexiness and doom which is jsut to aweosme,sexy, good,(the list goes on and on) for Eric Roberts' own good.

    Best voice ever! hide show

    I absolutely love his voice. He has the best voice I have ever heard. There's just something about it, it doesn't sound real. It's really good - I could listen to him talk all day. I first heard his voice when I was watching the Danny Phantom movie called The Ultimate Enemy. Eric did the voice of Dark Dan, who was Danny's evil older self. His voice was perfect! It sounded evil and sly. His laugh was even better, if possible. It sounded evil too, and it made it seem as if there would be no hope for the hero. I know Eric is also an actor, but I've never seen his act, so I can't really comment about that. He has to be pretty good, seeing as his little sister is Julia Roberts and his daughter is Emma Roberts.

    He plays the voice of Dark Danny in Danny Phantom's The Ultimate Enemy. hide show

    His voice was perfect for Dark Danny in Danny Phantom's the Ultimate Enemy. It had that dark side to it. It sounded deep and dark, making Dark Danny appear and sound like a really good evil villain. His voice was never overstressed in the episode, making Dark Danny sound smooth all the way, even in the most tense moments. Now that's an evil villain, showing very little emotion in the voice. He was that good in playing that role. Even his evil laughter was good. It's not easy to do as many think it is. His voice sends the chills down your spine and it stays in your mind.
