| 1992 | American Me | Juvi Hall Attacker | Movie This epic depiction of thirty years of Chicano gang life in Los Angeles focuses on a teen named Santana who is arrested for a break-in and ends up in jail. Eric has a very small (and yucky) part as one of the inmates at the detention centre. He's on screen for about two minutes, fifteen mintues into the show. He actually rapes (see, I told you it was yucky) the main character. He's then killed. The scenes are very dark and you can hardly tell it's Eric - I recognized his voice. |
