How do you get information for the Absolutely Unofficial Eric Roberts web page, since no-one is willing to give it to you officially?

I get information several different ways. One way I get information is to go to the library. Several libraries near where I live have subscriptions to magazine databases that they let people use for free. At one library they have Daily Variety magazine which reports Hollywood news, and Back Stage West.

Another way that I get information is from other people. People who have information about a new movie search the web for someone to chat with, find my web site and send me email. Sometimes it's someone who had to detour around the filming in their hometown. Sometimes it's an extra in the film. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, it's a director or producer.

I also search the web for information. Some really good web sites are Up coming movies and The Internet Movie Database.


What's the relationship between Eric and Julia?

Only Eric and Julia know what their real relationship is but their relationship seems to have improved a whole lot since Eric visited Julia at the hospital shortly after the birth of her twins. Before that, their relationship was more distant. I can give you a quote from the television program,The View, where Eric was asked that question on 25 October 2000:

Lisa: I have to ask you a question about your sister, Julia Roberts, who is arguably the biggest celebrity in the world.

Eric: Biggest star in the world!

Lisa: Definitely. I read that you're estranged from her but there was a time when you were very close. Did you help her get into the business?

Eric: I got her her first movie. I got her out of Smyrna, Georgia, which is a real feat, and she did all the rest herself. [pause]

Joy Behar: Enough said about that.

Barbara: I hope that one day you two get together because you're both so talented.

Lisa: Incredibly talanted.

Eric: I do too.I do too.

Joy Behar: I'd like to ask... Barbara: No, wait. Maybe we can bury the hatchet here. Do you want to give her a message?

Eric: I love her with all my heart. I love both my sisters. But I was such a handful, see, I did drugs for about ten years of my life and I ruined every relationship I ever had and...

Barbara: Oh, Eric, how honest and dear of you to say it.

Eric:...and they were two of the relationships I ruined through that stuff. I've tried to get in touch with them for about seven years now but they won't call me back. And I've tried everything I can. I wrote letters, I sent telegrams, I sent gifts, I sent flowers. They really had it with me. It's not my fault. I mean, it's not their fault. I guess that's a Freudean slip.

Somebody: It was.

Joy Behar: I guess it probably isn't yours either.

Eric: I mean, it's not their fault and, if there's any kind of fault to take, it would have to be mine.


Was there an Eric Roberts biography on TV?

Two people have reported that they saw a biography of Eric Roberts on TV. It was a couple of years ago. It was not one of the A&E biographies. They do not think that it was on E! Does anyone else remember a biography of Eric Roberts being on TV? What channel was it on?


What happened in April 1993?

This question came from a fan and I don't have an answer for her. She says that in Love is a Gun Eric makes a phone call to 555-0493. Then, in Shadow Men Eric makes a phone call and you can see his finger hit 555-0493. The 555 is a telephone company number used on TV to avoid using the phone number of a real person. But what is the significance of the number 0493 that was used in both films. Has the same number been used in any other films?


What is Eric's favorite color?

He can't pick just one; blue or gray.


If Eric's car breaks down in front of my house, what should I give him for lunch while we're waiting for the tow truck?

His favorite food used to be KooKooRoo Chicken with a side of butternut squash with carob frozen yogurt for after. Now Eric says that his meals are plant protein-based -- lots of broccoli, beans, brown rice and seven-grain bread.


What movies have Eric and Eliza both been in?

  • Stiletto Dance (an HBO movie)
  • Baby Fever
  • Dead End (aka False Pretenses)

  • Love is a Gun (I think it's her best)
  • Nature of the Beast (or Hachet Man)
  • Past Perfect
  • Saved by the Light


Is Eric right or left handed?

All of us "Eric-watchers" debated this for a long time because he has been seen using both hands. Eric finally answered this question on his own web site and Eric says that he is right handed. His wife, Eliza, is left handed. His sister, Julia, is also left handed.


What's the ring Eric always wears on his right hand?

It's certainly a ring that means a lot to him because he wears it all the time.

Best Answer! I received a better answer from Morglynn who says that the ring appeared in 1992 and is a wedding ring. Eric's left ring finger was one of the things that got smashed in his 1981 car accident, making it better to wear his wedding ring on his right hand. But, she agrees, it does have the bonus of allowing him to keep it on even when he plays an unmarried character. Thanks, Morglynn!

Another answer. I have an article from IN FASHION magazine (which is not the world's most reliable source) saying that Eric broke his hand in a "rodeo accident" when a horse stepped on it. This is the only place I have heard a "rodeo accident" mentioned. It sounds like horse pucky.

But what's this??? The photo from IN FASHION magazine shows the ring on his LEFT hand. But, his watch, which is usually on his left wrist, is on his right wrist. IN FASHION reversed the photo!


What has Eric done besides movies?

I have a list of films, tv appearances and other stuff which is kind of always under construction. Or you can check The Internet Movie Database.p>
