Career[]
A multi faceted Hollywood figure as a television director, actor and martial artist, Eric's first prominent acting roles were in the science-fiction film The Omega Man (1971) with Charlton Heston and the ABC-TV series Room 222 (1970–1973). His role as orderly Luther Hawkins in the long-running NBC television series St. Elsewhere is probably his best known role. He also starred in A Force of One playing Charlie, the stepson of Chuck Norris. In more recent years, he frequently directs such one-hour dramas as Ghost Whisperer and Lost.
