More than 60 films per year
He made his television debut in 1974 in the series How to survive a marriage and at the cinema in 1978 The king of the gypsies. And after 50 years of career on the screens, Eric Roberts, actor and brother of Julia Roberts, has no intention of retiring. To give an example of how obsessed he is with his profession as an actor and far from putting an end to it, he set a record in 2023 by being credited in none other than 65 productions. He is expected to beat this record in 2024, with already more than 60 second credits IMDB.
This bulimia of projects began once he had definitively acquired his popularity Running traina film for which he was nominated golden globe et al’Oscar for best supporting actor in 1986. He then made several films and television productions a year, and it was in the mid-2000s that his screen presence took on gigantic proportions. In the 2010s and 2020s there were dozens of different appearances each year. Feature films and shorts, student films, music videos… Eric Roberts is everywhere.
A complicated quantity/quality relationship
Encryption makes you dizzy and, with 821 acting credits to date, Eric Roberts is therefore the most credited English-speaking actor in history (with the exception of voice actors and obviously those who work in pornographic cinema).
The more time passes and the more his filmography grows, the rarer Eric Roberts’ important films become. There were films of his revelation similar The king of the gypsies AND Running trainforays with prestigious directors including The dark Knight, Intrinsic vice AND Babylona role with Quentin Dupieux in Wrong cops… And, of course, alongside this, a gigantic volume of retina-scratching B-list and DTV anecdotes. Remarkable fact: he only appeared in one production with his superstar sister Julia Robertsin 1989 in the western The Way of Blood.
He declared in November 2022 to The Hollywood journalist :
What I tell myself is that I am one of the luckiest men in Hollywood. Every day we receive between eight and thirty offers from all over the world. It’s so fun to get all these offers and have the opportunity to play such a wide range of characters.
