Talk:Eric Roberts/Archive 1

Grey's Anatomy

He did not appear on Grey's Anatomy as Denny's father - the role was played by Fred Ward.

King of the B movies

I went ahead and deleted the disputed fact from this article. It was:

Apart from the aforementioned jobs, he has also appeared in many B Movies, and continues to do so. So many, in fact, that he has often called himself 'King of the B Movies.

Roger Corman is widely credited with that title. In addition, there is no indication when searching for Eric Roberts and that title that he has dubbed himself that. Erechtheus 22:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Why aren't more of his movies listed here? There were quite a few, and two particularly (Best of the Best and The Ambulance) come to mind. It would give users a better idea of the volume of B Movies he's done without the need to refer to him as the King. 60.44.255.146 04:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

What happened to my edits about him being unpopular with Doctor Who fans. Is this not a democracy?

When I corrected the South Park quote, the vandalbot changed it back (the mayor said "noboby gives a sh*t about Eric Roberts"). I thought Wikipedia wasn't supposed to be censored...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.87.181.230 (talk)

Just like Mark Hamill?

Didn't some kind of permanent face / cranial injury destroy Eric Roberts' acting career? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.83.17.15 (talk) 23:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Shitty photo

Are there no better pictures of Eric Roberts? This has got to be the most unflattering photo he has. He may be a hack actor, but show some fucking respect and find another pic.

Check Wikimedia Commons, otherwise, no. ZooFari 06:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Find a better copyright free photo and replace it. The 'master' one was already on Wikipedia and is better than nothing. Mtpaley (talk) 11:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Music video

He was also in the music video "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers.

Car accident

The article says he got in an accident because his car "coughed". What the hell does that mean? 65.220.58.178 (talk) 15:00, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

• I was wondering the same exact thing. --V2Blast (talk) 06:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Eric Roberts starred in Cyclops

Cyclops that was made in 2008 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210344/ link —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.81.85.43 (talk) 20:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Vegan

Eric is vegan http://oneworldveggie.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/one-world-caters-for-star-studded-concert/

Addiction

It says in the article that on Dr. Drew that Roberts is dealing with an addiction to marijuana. There is no way that that is the only drug he was addicted to and had to go to rehab just to get over that drug. There has to be something else that he was using. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.51.210.36 (talk) 21:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Starred in Heroes?

I checked the Wiki page for Heroes and there it mentions a recurring role for Leonard Roberts, but does not mention Eric Roberts. This needs to be verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CD4A:CCD0:29AD:57E5:4196:3B30 (talk) 19:45, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

IFC's "Bullet in the Face"

IFC's "Bullet in the Face" - he starred in that great show ~ ~ ~ ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.216.90 (talk) 05:20, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Past Perfect

Eric Roberts play in Past Perfect, but not in this Past Perfect, which Selected filmography section refers: Past Perfect (Italian: Passato prossimo) is a 2003 Italian comedy film directed by Maria Sole Tognazzi. Is somewhere in Wikipedia the correct article?

Content removed

I've stumbled across this article twice during AWB runs. After I let AWB fix an apostrophe error, the content was removed, then tonight AWB caught the same error, but this time I just removed it again, because the ref was dead and it wasn't formatted. Please, if you're going to add content here, take the time to make it tidy and presentable. Dawnseeker2000 02:06, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Rihanna music video

Eric Roberts plays the sheriff's officer in Rihanna's new music video "B better have my money" he's absolutely perfect in the role... can someone add this to the article? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.8.44 (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Amityville Death House

He stared in such unless there is a mistake. Why wasn't it included in his filmography?

Orphaned references in Eric Roberts

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Eric Roberts's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
