Yeah I would think he IS fairly well known, he's been around forever! I usually like Roberts in whatever's he in even though a lot of them aren't all that good. I especially remember him in Runaway Train and The Pope of Greenwich Village. Not so sure about this suit though!

What are those beet-red pieces of sartorial crap he is wearing?

Looks like a GoodWill shopper.

Like Eric Roberts

The author of this article must be young. Everyone knows Eric - he’s been around a long time. God, he was hot when young.

I agree. If Eric Roberts is in it it’s fun to watch even if the movie is low budget or cheesy. He makes a great bad guy.

Andrew Dice Clay did a pretty good imitation of Eric

There’s a difference between starring in a movie and appearing in a movie. Eric Roberts is hardly a star.

‘Runaway train’ was nominated for Oscar’s including Roberts for best supporting actor... ‘Star 80’ was anther very good movie back in the day about Playboy Playmate Dorthey Stratton who was murdered by her husband, who in turn committed suicide.

A decent hardworking supporting actor.

He was awful in “The Expendables.”

But so was everyone in that flick.

I personally think Eric was a better actor than his sister, especially when it came to playing dirtbags. Eric Roberts and Mickey Rourke as two dirtbag cousins in Pope of Greenwich Village was a classic in my book.

Thought he and Judd Hirsch were excellent in King of the Gypsies.

There are very few men that can wear that suit with diginity and pazazz.
Eric Roberts ain’t one of them.

He was great as the super creepy Paul Snider in Star 80, husband of Playmate Dorothy Stratton, played by Mariel Hemingway.

In one of his strangest roles, Roberts was the voice of Duffy the cat in the movie A Talking Cat!?! One of those “so bad, it's fun” movies.
