The Castle (1997)
"The Castle" director Rob Sitch: "There's not much that they can throw his way that he can't handle. Hollywood is the sort of town where you have to have the straight white teeth. And from what girls tell me, he's a pretty good-looking guy so he's got that up his sleeve as well."
Chopper (2000)
"Troy" co-star Rose Byrne: "People just adore him; they always mention 'Chopper.' You know, Brad Pitt is a massive fan of that film. People have an enormous amount of respect for Eric."
"The Hulk" producer Gale Anne Hurd: "Eric has incredible intensity, and in 'Chopper' he played, basically, a murderer - and you still liked him. And that was incredibly important for the actor bringing Bruce Banner to life."
Black Hawk Down (2001)
The Nugget (2002)
"The Nugget" director Bill Bennett: "I have never seen an actor go from here to there so fast. It is extraordinary but Eric is keeping his feet on the ground."
"The Nugget" co-star Dave O'Neil: "It's hard to feel jealous or anything like that because he works so hard and he's such a nice bloke."
Finding Nemo (2003)
The Hulk (2003)
"The Hulk" co-star Josh Lucas: "Eric's under a massive amount of pressure but he's very specific in terms of the way he takes care of himself. Physically, he's like an athlete and he has to be to play that character."
"The Hulk" director Ang Lee: "I had to drill him... and inspire him. But when we got something good, it's really good."
Troy (2004)
"Troy" co-star Orlando Bloom: "I look up to him. He's a real man. Like Hector is to Paris, Eric's been a real rock to me."
