James Dean in "East Of Eden" and Eric Roberts in "Star 80" are the twin titans of film performance. I've seen each film LITERALLY 200 times over the last 40 years. I'm NOT kidding. Thank you SO MUCH for talking to Eric about this astonishing role....!!!!!
I had never seen Eric Roberts before "Star 80" and I was so obsessed with his performance that I chased the film all over the Harrisburg, PA area, from theater to theater, for a couple of months. I saw the film at least 20 times in the theater during those early days......and 40 years later, it REMAINS the most-incredible film performance I've ever seen......although James Dean in "East Of Eden" stands side-by-side with it. Eric is in good company. 😃
I have grown over the years of interviews and reality shows with Eric Roberts to just adore this man. He’s so easy to listen to, so down to earth and smart. He seems so genuine. I would love to chat with him
