I was watching music videos this weekend and I noticed in The Killer's video for Mr. Brightside, Eric Roberts had a role. A little while later Mariah Carey's new video came on and lo and behold... Eric Roberts.

He played pretty much the same character in each one. A wealthy, smug, smirky guy.

I picture the casting director... "Ok so there's this rich, smuggy, smirky guy... Eric Roberts!... yeah!"

  1. How weird that I wrote about this exact same thing a month ago. MTV must have the same videos on replay all day long.

  3. I saw something about Mariah's new video and Eric is going to be in that one too. Looks like Eric Roberts is the new Christopher Walken.

  4. Ahh Eric Roberts. He was my first celebrity spotting in NY! He literally knocked me on my ass in a bar (totally an accident) and then kindly helped me get back up. So much kinder than he appears in the videos!

  8. Yeah I think that I would like to see more "B" actores from the 80s in Videos instead of the same old crap bitches, and money. That stuff gets old after a while.

  9. I think that these older actors give the videos a little hint of should real stage presence.
