Is this where I say hi?

Mar 8, 2015#1

Just Eric

Hello, I'm Eric.
Used to have a computer repair shop. Used to have a home. Neither now. Used to ski until an accident in 2010 took parts of my memory away. Don't ski anymore.
Fits of rage, fits of depression, fits of funny, fits of joy, fits of creativity, fits of loneliness. Fits. Not sure if they all fit me or if I fit into them but they come all the same. Possibly bipolar but the jury's out and so are the test results.
Trying to continue life.. Trying to change direction. Some small success in a little bit of acting (8 episodes in Grimm and several other shows) but trying to become more than an extra. Not bragging but I want more.
Anyway, wanted to say hello. Didn't want to barge into 72+pages of a conversation.

Hi dude. Welcome to the nut ho... wait, that suddenly sounds insensitive now.

What are your thoughts on minotaur penis?

These are the kinds of hard questions you're going to have to ask yourself, here. It's not for the faint of heart.

How do you like your steak?

Don't worry, this isn't related to the minotaur penis question.

Medium well if my teeth will let me have it.

Do you sit or stand to wipe your butt?

Stand. And use a bidet if possible.

Welcome to the family, Mr. Actor-Person. I hope you enjoy your stay!

I happen to be a fan of Grimm, so I'll just be in the corner squeeing quietly.

Mar 8, 2015#12

Just Eric

Well don't squee on my behalf lol.. I'd sure like to get I'd credit but I don't have any speaking roles yet... Except for one role which hasn't been published yet.

My next episode of grimm I'm walking up a flight of stairs outside a motel... Oh ooh! Lol!!!

Welcome welcome! I'm Dave. But I'm also sleepy and grumpy. So I'll greet you better later.

Hello! Please hold onto the bar. Don't forget to open the overhead bin slowly in case your luggage has shifted during the flight. The red zone is for loading and unloading only. Don't sniff glue. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome aboard, good sir!

And I say that, despite your heretical views on steak. See? I'm growing as a person, y'all!

Hello and Welcome! Also make sure to say hello to Yoshi and ask him his opinion on ninja turtles.

Mar 8, 2015#20

Ooh hello Yoshi, and my favorite turtle would probably be.. Hmm either Raphael or Leonardo.

Guys, Mikey used nunchucks.

Nunchucks, guys.

Everything else is irrelevant. Mikey is best because he used nunchucks.

Anyone like the newest TMNT movie that came out?

Haven't seen it.
Haven't seen the old ones, either.
For that matter, I haven't seen the cartoon.

Yeah, I'm That Guy.

How much of the storyline of TMNT can you recreate just from what you've picked up from references?

To be fair, I've seen chunks of the movies (running while I was visiting someone, for instance), I've just never seen any of them in their entirety. Also, I don't remember what was on at the same time as the cartoon, but it was obviously something I liked better than TMNT. I know the origin story got changed from the comic, I've played the video game a little, and really that's about it.

If you want to do it right...

The same accident that created Daredevil gave the turtles their abilities.

Just out of curiosity, Eric, how'd you find us in the first place?

Mar 8, 2015#35

Just wandering around, saw wacky stuff going on. Interesting place.

Bubble181

Welcome; come for the wackiness, stay for the....ehh.....wackiness, I guess. Perhaps we're a bit one-note

Also, try not to run over any owls you meet. Apparently it's an increasingly common problem in some regions where owls are starting to hover at low altitudes over the road, watching for rodents. It's a bad evolutionary move

Now I'm going to be scrutinizing motel stairwells in Grimm for quite a while.

Mar 9, 2015#41

Just Eric

Episodes I've been in (that I can remember)... 2x12 - policeman behind Sgt wu in the house when hank got beat up.. 2x13- top of stairs - - scene cut.
2x16? Hospital in episode of eye worms.. Just before the worms eat the girls eyes I was in the corridor waiting to go.. Scene cut

2x18 or 19 (forgot which).. Bar that had the bomb I'm one of the bartenders. One of my best scenes, I got to twirl around and not fall on the people paid to fall down lol! You can also hear me shout MOVE as I'm ushering people quickly outside.
3x1 (wound up in 3x3 I think).. Passenger on a train.. Out of frame

)
3x 16?? When another grimm (the old guy, Sam Anderson... Very cool, nice man, was balki's boss on perfect strangers) came to town I was one of the nurse orderlies who helped him on the gurney. That episode was fun, the camera guy ran into our cart! Ouch!!
4x1 (barely visible in background) suspect at the precinct arguing with an older (60's) detective
And finally 4x14?(forgot episode number)... I THINK it will be played on March 20 but I'm behind in watching. No Internet where I'm staying. (edited to correct date)

I seriously want to make a voice reel (I need to buy a Microphone .. The one built into my laptop does no good for submissions) and make a demo reel. There's a bunch of voices I can do well.

Mar 9, 2015#42

You could trade your car for a microphone.

Ha!! .. Well maybe when I get the 2nd one finished? (pics later.. Truly a major process.)

That ended so much better than I expected it to. She was good with most of it but really got bogged down when she had to do hand-to-hand transitions or any really complex moves. But she can sure spin/flip them well.

No sound? I had to make the Bruce Lee noises/sound effects myself! ...Which I would have done anyway.

I had the sound muted, so I never noticed whether or not there was sound.
Just checked. No sound for me, either. I suppose you'll have to continue to add your own.

The black guy is actually a legit stuntman and martial artist. He was still suffering from jetlag after flying in from Hong Kong when he went on that audition, and the rest is history.

If he was going for his yellow belt, he's still new, and his muscle memory probably just went "wtf" for a brief moment.

At least he was using foam chucks.

Dammit, can't believe the thread got to two pages before I thought of this:

No, Mr. Eric, this is where you die.

On one hand that's really interesting and nice to know, thanks!
But that clip still will always be my favourite nunchuck fail of all times.
