Eric's grandmother was a lifelong loyal fan of her "story", soap-opera "Days of Our Lives". When he was working at an LA restaurant and was telling a diner about his granny and her favorite "story", Eric mentioned that he wanted to act on his granny's favorite show. Eric was shocked when the patron helped him get an audition, and Eric was ecstatic to be cast for an "Under 5" role. His grandmother was able to see Eric on her "story" before she passed away.
