    2014 Eric was walking past me in baggage claim at LAX intl.
    I yelled out "Best of the Best!" a he turned and smiled. I worked up the courage to walk over and damn! What a generously cool guy. Big hug, selfies...thought i was going home with him. Lol.
    Wished each other the best.

    I lost my Dad at 19 and my Mom a little over a year ago. I thought I wouldn't know how to live without them, and it had nothing to do with maturity. If your friend loses one or both of her parents, she will find a way through. However, it is painful and shouldn't be dismissed because it happens to everyone. My sister, my brother, and my mother passed within the last few years. I have lost friends. What came from it eventually is an appreciation for all that I am blessed with and to try not to waste my time on meaningless crap. Family and friendships are everything. We can't blame people for not knowing how they will cope because they haven't experienced that kind of loss. Just my take. And yes, therapy is a good idea for anyone, for most. Anyway, love Mr. Roberts and I am glad he was a guest. 👍🏼

    One of the best actors I have ever seen in my life. When I first watched doctor who, I first started with the tv movie which was an attempt to bring it back to the airwaves since it was cancelled in 1989, and it starred Paul mcgann as the doctor and Eric roberts as the master. I cosplayed as his incarnation of the master.

    The voice of Mongul in Justice League/Unlimited. Great to see Rosey getting amazing guest stars in his podcast. The Runaway train is one of my favorite films during his young career. Roberts is one of those actors that play any role with ease. He is a character actor. He is a natural chameleon. When he voiced Mongul in Justice League/Unlimited you can tell he is calculating just listening to his voice. Seeing the show adapt the storyline For the Man who has everything in the show and him as Mongul is just perfect. Now whenever I read that story i hear his voice.

    Best of the Best is one of his best movies in his career and I kinda like the sequel too. DOA directed the late great Corey Yuen is actually a guilty pleasure of mine, super entertaining and actually a pretty accurate adaptation of the game itself. The Ambulance is not a bad movie either and has Stan Lee in a short acting role. Whether its a good or bad movie, Eric Roberts is always entertaining.
