trivia: Erik says he's a picky surfer and hates bad conditions
The new haircut thing: got his hair cut because
he couldn't stand the long hair anymore. It took 2 months to get the network
to approve it.
comments: Erik is poised to make it big, if he can
follow up on the success of his role in Leave It To Beaver, where he plays
the Beave's older brother Wally. Erik's appeared in a variety of made-for-tv
movies, and a few theatrical films, but he's yet to really make it big.
Perhaps his recent made-for-Disney film Brink (reviewed by Karla) will
make it happen! Look for Erik to rejoin the cast of "So Weird" once again,
after taking the year off to try his hand at an ABC series (that unfortunately,
tanked in the ratings and was cancelled early on). The boy has talent,
and he's a hottie too, isn't he?More Erik, please!
