Today on the show Jayson is talking with Eric and Eliza Roberts, both are actor and actress, casting directors, and media personalities starring in best of the best, Animal House, Dark Knight, and more. Appearing in music videos by The Killers, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and more. Eric was nominated for Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Buck in Runaway Train.
Eric’s family all grew up bit by the acting bug as his parents ran an acting and writing school right out of their home. This would eventually inspire both him and his sisters, Julia and Lisa Roberts, to pursue acting careers later in their lives. He grew up with a severe stutter, it was when he landed his first acting role as a kid that he slowly overcame his impediment.
Eliza was raised an only child in Los Angeles by her father David Rayfiel who was a writer, known for having worked on the mystery thriller movie Three Days of the Condor and the romantic comedy Sabrina. Her mother Lila Garrett, was a film screenwriter, producer and director, known for her works on the romantic comedy The Other Woman, and the action adventure comedy Get Smart.
