Eric is a typical teenaged sun-bronzed California surfer of our acquaintance whom WE thought should get into acting and modeling. (He has, as most informed observers have commented -- PIZZAZZ.) Perhaps if enough people in The Industry express the same opinion, he will relent, get himself an agent and be out in front of everyone, where we think he belongs. (Update: 16 July 1997: Hollywood has come knocking at Eric's door {if you consider being offered a leading role in a feature film a "knock"}, but Eric, sadly, has said, "no." Bummer.)
