Brother Julia Roberts Eric was a fairly well-known and highly paid actor in the 90's, but now his popularity has declined. What was the reason and what is the former celebrity doing now?
Biography of Eric Roberts
Eric Roberts is 10 years older than his sister Julia. He was born in 1956 in the family of theater director Walter Roberts and actress Betty Lou. The boy in his childhood strongly stuttered, and his father forced him to learn and recite theatrical monologues, and also to perform on stage to overcome this malady. When Julia Roberts's brother was 14 years old to the future actor and 4 to the girl, the parents divorced.
The father sincerely believed in the great acting talent of his son and sent him to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England. From there, the young man returned not only with the knowledge and developed makings of a great actor, but also with a predilection for drugs , which at that time were an indispensable attribute of the bohemian theater environment.
Eric Roberts has become a very successful actor in America, he has about 250 paintings. He was also a part of the series. Traditional for him was the role of a bad guy and a scoundrel, but he successfully managed to destroy it in the series "S-16: FBI." He has an Oscar nomination for his role in the movie "Runaway Train" directed by Andron Konchalovsky.
Relationship with sister
Now Julia Roberts Eric's brother treats her very cold, moreover, he considers it the reason for the decline of his acting career in the 90s. After the release and stunning success of the movie "Pretty Woman" (the first part appeared on the screens on March 23, 1990), Erica many viewers began to perceive not as an independent and talented actor, but simply as a sibling of Julia Roberts.
However, this was not always the case, as a child, Eric loved his sister very much, cared for her and more than once comforted the girl when she came in tears from the school, where she was teased for her big mouth and her teeth protruding forward.
Eric believes that it was he who was responsible for the successful start of his career, and the question "What's the most nervous for him most of all," without hesitation, answers "My sister Julia!".
