Born in Biloxi, Mississippi, Eric Roberts is the elder brother of Julia Roberts, the father of tween star Emma Roberts, and a compelling performer in his own right. His youthful work on stage and in daytime drama in the 1970s led to breakthrough roles in feature films like King of the Gypsies, Star 80 and The Pope of Greenwich Village, opposite Mickey Rourke. He forged a reputation as an unconventional and unpredictable character actor, earning an Oscar nomination in 1986 for the movie Runaway Train. Though his career has sometimes been overshadowed by his off-screen reputation for drug use and trouble with the law, he has enjoyed a resurgence of late, scoring memorable roles in the TV hit Heroes and the big-screen blockbuster The Dark Knight.
