but why?
>>224044699why not? probably beats browsing /tv/ all day
keeps him active and livingalso the endless attention
>we need an actor to pla->he's already shot all his scenes, picked up his $500 check, and cleared out the catering table, sir
>>224044699probably a way to cope with his cocaine addictionconstantly working keeps the jitters away
>>224044699what his best kino and why is it stalked by my doctor (3)?
>>224044731Has he tried it?
It's revenge for not having won the Best Actor Academy Award for Star 80. Which he SHOULD have won.Eric Roberts will haunt you to your dying day.
>>224044699It's nice to get out of the house
>>224044699uh it's called sex-worker now
>>224044756Based Mr.Roberts
>>224044699because he's julia roberts' brother. hes high up enough in the food chain to where if the role is shitty enough, they HAVE to give it to him if he wants it. think about that. he gets cushy, shitty, low-pressure acting roles on tap in an industry full of people selling their holes just for a foot in the door.
>>224044699To become more famous than his sister of course.
>>224044699Guilt over fathering worst Emma
>>224044947>father is a showbiz prostitute>daughter is just a prostitute
>>224044699>show up>read lines>get paid >go homeEven the SAG minimum for films with a budget of $700k-$2 million is like $850 a day, minimum. Not a bad deal for something you can absolutely just phone in.
he was good in an episode of justified, I had no idea he was julia roberts brother
>>224044699He's running from something by becoming a workaholic.
>>224044699That one where his son made him and his slampig wife fuck was gewd.
>>224044699Love of the game.
>>224044699wouldn't you stay late at work if you knew your daughter was going to beat the shit out of you the second you got home? he just stayed in the habit after she moved out, ptsd. sad, really.
>>224044890>To become more famous than his sister of course.Isn't he already? I don't know when I last saw Julia in anything.
>>224044771The Doctor Who movie where he played The Master. Shit nigga I don't know I haven't watched that shit since it first aired. HOLY SHIT that was thirty years ago.
>>224044881>>224044890I've always held Eric in higher regard than Julia.
>>224045441a horse is a horse of course of course
>>224044771Unequivocally Best of the Best.
man's gotta eat
>>224044699funny how they describe him as "julia roberts' brother" when eric seems more famous to me
>>224044699He's the best of the best.
>>224044881He was a star LONG before his sister.
>>224044765Hit the gym or take up surfing
>>224044699this man is a greater actor than most hollywood actors alive and this is the truth.
>>224044699>self professed showbiz prostitute>pulls daughter into the biz at age 9What did he mean by this?
>>224045492You must be fucking retarded
>>224044699I bet he does each of his roles in exchange for a half sandwich and a cigarette
>>224046517Probably nothing, just inertia.
wtf i genuinely thought he was deadwho am i finkin' of who died
>>224044699WTFHe's Julia Roberts' brother?
>>224044699700 films and you're still just "julia roberts' brother"
>>224046530not that anon but julia roberts hasn't been relevant in over 25 years
>>224044699Acting isn't a real job. There's no point in retiring unless you can't move or speak.
>>224044699Tim Heidecker even managed to get him on an episode of On Cinema. That’s how easy he is.
>>224044771He has no 'best'. Every one of his features are great. If anything, a show or movie I watch gets bumped into something great for me when he appears out of nowhere.He is both a quality and quantity thespian.
why don't they just call him by his name
>>224044699I understand why he does this. What I don't understand is why are so many b movies still being made in this day and age>inb4 Hollywood tax write offsTax write offs make sense when the expense benefits you in some way. Otherwise its like shooting yourself in the foot to get a free bandage.>inb4 money launderingDoubtful. Too visible and too expensive as a means to launder.
>>224047691
>>2240446991000~3000 a day for 1hour.
All actors are prostitutes though?
>>224044699ffs dad
>>224047822Didn't stop Val Kilmer.
>>224044771Ironically it's the kickboxing movie Best of the Best
>>224045419He was a terrible Master but the best thing in it
>>224048506Streamers eat them up. You have no idea the slop normies watch
Who are the best 'That Guy's?
>>224048506The new streaming model has changed things. The last time something like this happened was the complete destruction of the studio system in old Hollywood and the creation of United Artists and subsequent events. Let's for once ignore the "Blackrock/Dei/Hollywood accounting/jews/woke/whatever." The whole goal now is to secure a brand and keep it going, keep people talking, signing up. People here focus on how much views a show had, when the real question is, how many people picked up a subscription just to see this movie? How many people forgot to cancel and will keep rolling with it? Also, how many people are willing to pay $30 to rent a movie in their own home, instead of going to a theater? How long can we charge that $30 on Amazon until we have to just show it on our service and hope to get new subscribers?"
>>224048540>a day for one hourThis anon gets it. SAG is a union. I work union and he is absolutely correct. Lay down a couple lines of rail at the MTA "its time for my mandatory 1 hour break, also this doesn't count towards my required 30 minutes." I love it because I get a lot out of it, but I completely understand why people hate it. Idk shit about how SAG works, but I do understand the animosity felt against a person getting paid to do nothing. And receiving benefits.
pasting this from a different thread in the archives;i worked with him once a very low budget trash movie. dude is an absolute professional, knew all his lines (and everybody elses), which is crazy because he was just coming off a project and about to do another one as soon as he wrapped with us, was only there for like a day and a half, absolute old school workhose type of guy, just does it for the love of the game, doesn't care if it's a good movie or bad, just really enjoys acting for the sake of it. they simply don't make guys like this any more.the man just loves to act and also have some fun on a set. as soon as it's about to be action time, he gets serious though. true pro
>>224048506>why are so many b movies still being made in this day and ageAre we talking about horror movies? Low risk, high return. The current culture is go big or go home, nobody puts much funding into middle level projects, but even the shittiest horror movie can turn a profit. Half the time there is only two locations at most, if not one. Where as you drop a billion on something and still have to do reshoots, correct me if I am wrong, because I very well could be, but Jason Blum has found a perfect golden goose.
>>224044771I liked him in the pope of grenwich village even though he's just a supporting character
he is based
>>224044890it's because he gave up on getting an oscar so takes any work available. he's about couple hundred k per movie and makes multiple movies per year, meaning he makes maybe a couple of million every year, on top of the money he made when he was a star. keeps him busy, easy work, no stress. he's talked about it in interviews, the dude seems to have it made.
>>224044771Nature of the Beast, him and Lance are made for each other in that film. Fantastic serial killer kino.
>>224045463
>>224050387William FichtnerZeljko IvanekMichael KellyLeland Orserprobably a few million more I'm forgetting right now
>>224046517>damn she's going to be so fucking hot I gotta be a bro and share this sexy little femdom nympho in training with the world
>>224051719I would kill a person for a date with Emma
>>224044699It never occurred to me that he's related to Julia Roberts, I thought the surname was just a coincidence
>>224051787He is also, frankly, the more talented sibling. Julia's had a few decent roles but Eric is just so much fucking better.
>you will never be as handsome as young eric robertsit's over....
>>224051779>>224051719those soft, soft, supppple tits
>>224051857Eric has The Specialist and Suits. Julia has what, Notting Hill?
>>224044881ulia Roberts got roles BECAUSE of Eric, not the other way around. Eric Roberts was a fucking force in the 80s. You're a stupid zoomer retard.
>>224044771Star 80
>>224044814Half of my coworkers that are over 50 are like that
>>224047757This. And Emma Roberts is his daughter.It's like the time I found out Nicholas Cage is actually a Coppola family member.
>>224050576I'm not defending unions but the alternative would be even worse in this day and age.
>>224044699Isn't that called having a job?
>>224044699>get paid 1000 dollars to walk up and say “oh geez oh man” >work day takes 4 hoursWhy? Free money.
>>224044771runaway train is kino
>>224052674I don’t get why amerifat nigs start whining about unions when corpohomo runs their entire country. What the fuck do they think the worker’s advantage in negotiation is if not collective bargaining? Being a replaceable peon is the endgame of both fag parties in the US, they argue about who to shaft the hardest first, the unskilled laborer or the h1b visa pajeets taking “skilled” jobs. Like you have a choice. Like the goal isn’t to bend you over a barrel. Fucking raped the minds of the amerigroid to hate themselves first.
>>224053022As with anything, unions always get riddled with corruption. For some reason they work remarkably better in Europe though. Probably the cuck corporate bootlicking spirit of amerigroids.
>>224052901Free sandwiches too
