Hairway To Heaven

This guy used to be sooo amazing. He played Uncas in Last of the Mohicans.

Unfortunately, he hasn't aged well (not too well, anyway)

I don't know how to post pics directly, sorry. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong. Break it to me gently.

I agree. Do you think it was fast food, alcohol or drugs?
Thought about moving to Canada to find my very own Eric look-a-like yrs ago. They don't make em like that anymore.....sigh

^^^^How do you think he is looks-wise now? Just too fat? His facial features have actually changed. For what it's worth, he was a hard core alcoholic and has been sober 9 yrs, but he almost destroyed his liver. He is a heavy smoker. Also, and I do not mean this in a persoanlly offensive way, but I've noticed lots of Native folks don't age well and have a tendency towards weight gain (especially women). Of course, that is not always the case, so please hold off on the knee jerk bashing (not you, Tonja, just in general).

He was absolutely striking though and still has a great voice. He has a masculine look that I like and is pretty tall. I still watch his films because he is a really good actor.

Haven't seen him in a long time. Uncas....he was tremendous in Last of the Mohicans - I think his subtle love story and ending actually stole from the main characters, and you couldn't keep your eyes off him for the entire movie.

Hmmm, not quite sure what everyone is talking about but I completely disagree.... recent pics of Eric:

I saw a documentary about a town with native folks (Pima Indians) and their health. The number that had diabetes was incredible. It was theorized that modern eating and living habits were responsible.
Obesity Associated with High Rates of Diabetes in the Pima Indians

And he is one fine looking man!
