Add Eric S. Lynch, aka "Eric the Actor," to your remembrance at the next Emmy Telecast

The Issue

Eric Lynch, or as he was more affectionately known "Eric the Actor," was an actor who appeared in shows such as "American Dreams," "Fringe," "In Plain Sight," "Legit," and "Brickleberry" despite the fact he was disabled in many different capacities.  He passed away from complications of his various disabilities on September 20. Eric was an uncompromising actor who held fast to his moral convictions when it came to taking roles on television. He loved entertainment and the entertainment industry, so much that he requested to be referred to as "Eric the Actor." It would be a fitting tribute to someone so dedicated to their craft to include him in your "remembrance" segment on the next Emmy telecast. We believe, at that moment, Eric (God rest his soul) will then truly be the "actor" he aspired to be.
