Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 30, 2010 Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 Who said there was a problem with it? I think some posters had a problem with this being "stunt casting." But Eric Robets isn't a big enough name for me to think this is stunt casting. People were just interested in why he was doing the show after never doing guest work in daytime before. I've said all along it was probably his association with Y&R casting agent Matt Kane that got him this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 I was looking through the new SPW and one of their cover photos is of Eric Roberts, about how MOVIE STAR JOINS Y&R and they quote him saying something like, "Everyone told me this would ruin my career." The actual interview has him saying that his response was, "What career?" and that the economy has pushed people to a point where they are doing jobs they might not have done at one time, and that he'd like to stay around if they offered. He comes across well. I know part of it is to sell magazines but still it's kind of sad if even a soap magazine needs to push the idea that a "movie star" is taking a big risk by being on a soap.

Members Ann_SS Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 So basically, like I said earlier in this thread, he joined the cast for economic reasons. It is really time people wake up and realize lots of actors are effected by the economy just like the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 Not only did he join for economical reasons, but he does seem interested in sticking around and making a career in daytime which I think is an interesting shift. Yeah I still believe it's stunt casting, but I do think he's a strong leading man and in a long term capacity could be useful to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCDYNASTY Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 Also, he's going to Celebrity Rehab as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 LMAO. So much for those IMDb credits. "What career?" Ha. What career indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yeah, I read that the other day too. They're starting shooting soon so I was wondering if they were going to follow him to Y&R. I've never watched Celeb Rehab so I don't know if it's like Celeb Fit Club where they don't really keep up with them 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 As much as I don't think much of Eric Roberts' acting ability, I agree that he would be a strong charismatic leading man on Y&R. He could be a real foil for Victor in way that Tucker has not been and Jack has not been for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 And off he goes, to star in a pilot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Richard Marx could replace him. He's washed up and he could be the "singing lawyer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Someone should tell them Gregg Marx is related to the Marx Brothers. The show would love that. And if he's half as hot as he was on ATWT, then I would finally have a reason to sit through this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
