Rock 'n Roll Ghost S7 E04 - Actor Eric Roberts (Hard Luck Love Song)
Welcome back to the Rock 'n Roll Ghost Podcast. On this week's episode, the Ghost speaks with actor Eric Roberts about his role in the new film Hard Luck Love Song, as well as his incredible 40+ year career in entertainment. Roberts discusses working on such films as The Specialist (with Sylvester Stallone, James Woods, Sharon Stone and Rod Steiger), Runaway Train (with Jon Voight and Rebecca Demornay), and goes in depth about his work on two of his most well known films, Star 80 (with Mariel Hemingway) and The Pope of Greenwich Village (with Mickey Rourke), revealing the idea of a sequel he and Rourke might do, as well as the director who was fired from the original before the film began rolling. He also touches on his relationship with Rourke, citing his performance in Barfly as his favorite of his friend. Additionally, he recently wrapped a role in Damien Chazelle's (Whiplash, La La Land) upcoming star heavy Hollywood extravaganza, Babylon (also featuring Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie). Roberts' joy is something quite amazing to bear witness to. He's especially proud of his stepson, musician Keaton Simons, who he describes as his favorite singer/songwriter.
