Roberts, born Eric Roberts in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1956, is an American stage, TV and movie actor with over 150 movie and TV credits as of this biography. People either love or hate his intense performances and bad-boy reputation, both on and off the screen; there's little middle ground. A long-time actor, Roberts made his stage debut at age 5 in a theatre company run by his father. His first break came in 1976, playing Ted Bancroft in the soap opera Another World. After several box-office disappointments, he landed his most-famous role of sleazy murderer Paul Snider in Bob Fosse's Star 80 (1983) - a role that also helped to typecast him as a villain. Roberts was nominated for an Oscar as escaped convict Buck in 1985's Runaway Train. He also appeared on Broadway as Pale in Burn This (1987-1988), which earned him a 1988 Theatre World Award. Comic book fans may know Roberts as Thompson, an associate of Noah "Horn-Rimmed Glasses" Bennet in the television series Heroes and as voicing the villain Mongul in the cartoons Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, while Doctor Who fans may recognize him as the Doctor's nemesis the Master in the 1996 TV movie Doctor Who.
