Speaking with Collider, Eric opened up about the role and why it changed things for him.

“I felt like I was getting disconnected from the craft of acting. The short answer is nobody had ever asked me to take on roles like this,” he says of the role that’s very different from the ones he’s played in the past.

Eric added, “The longer answer is that I was ready to do something different. I felt a little stagnant, stilted, or whatever you wanna call it. I wasn’t whistling on my way to work, let’s just say that. But this role [on Euphoria] is amazing.”

“The people I get to work with and collaborate with are all super talented. At times, I feel like I’m punching above my own weight, on this one. It’s a dream role,” he continued. “I get to do everything that nobody asks me to do and that allows me to grow and stretch, as an artist. I trust Sam so much. I don’t even have to ask him what’s happening in the next episode, or what’s happening in the next season. It’s gonna be fine with me.”
