10 Small Actors Who Really SHOULD Catch A Break
2. Eric Roberts
Eric Roberts holds a strange place in the movie business as he is treated as equal parts a Hollywood legend and a small-time TV actor brought in to play roles that need some profile. The prolific performer is currently listed to have over 500 credits on IMDB.
The scale of his appearances range dramatically from big to small. With his larger scaled productions treating him like a bit part player, and his smaller positions presenting him like a special presence - but not a big deal. He is an Oscar nominee though and deserves something bigger.
Despite how often he works, it seems he needs a significant mainstream role to help him shed the perception of being a smaller actor. There are so many projects that he would fit perfectly into, as well, with fans wanting him to play WWE's owner Vince McMahon for years now.
It would take just one starring role to bring him into the peak of his career, and hopefully we shall see it one day.
