Looks better than Sean Palmer, IMO.

Better in terms of what?

[jacobsnchz14]

"LOOKS"... costume, wig, etc.

Something about this pictures makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

Yea theres something about the picture that doesn't feel right but its not too bad, could be worse

How old is this kid? 15? 16?

He needs to look a bit more mature, if you ask me.

He looks too boyish. He needs to look a bit more ruggish. A tad sexier.

Perhaps the awkwardness of the picture has something to do with the positioning of the telescope.

Hahaha wow Glinda i just noticed that, good call. And Brody i completely agree, Eric is a stud, Drew needs to live up to that

How old is this kid? 15? 16?

According to IMDB, he just turned 27 at the end of April.

Maybe it's just the angle of the photo that makes him look too boyish, but that's just my opinion. I need a couple more photos before deciding.

Great screencaps, Brody. Love the second one. I think Drew looks good, he just doesn't look like how old he actually is. He is almost 30 and kind of has that "baby face" look. For 27 years old, he sure keeps himself in good shape to look like that. Eric is a little older than Ariel. In the movie, Ariel is sixteen ("I'm sixteen years old! I'm not a child anymore!"). So Eric should be barely older. Disney kinda over exaggerated on the drawing thing. Well... unless the way he is performed in the musical makes him supposed to be "older" forget what I just said. I don't know if they kept that movie quote in the show.

He looks like he's 14 and wearing a costume too big for him. This is a sucky picture.

I've always detested him. I hope he proves me wrong!

[degrassifan]

Posted: 6/3/09 at 9:59pm

He looks different. Anyway, I think Eric is actually supposed to be 18, or no more than 21.

Eric, Vicomte de Changy?

Wait, that's fic, and spelled differently...

I prefer Palmer over this baby faced dude. Eric should be cute, but more manly cute.

[RippedMan]

I don't know him at all, so I can't say I'm "disgusted" by him - whatever the hell that means, but he does remind of me that chick who was in that iconic 80s movie that posed as a boy? I don't remember the name of it, but I can picture it so vividly in my mind. He just looks a little too young, and I think the awkward chest hair doesn't help.

From 1985... JUST ONE OF THE GUYS, starring Joyce Hyser:

Yes, now merge her with Jake Gylellenhal (I know that's not how you spell it), and slap on some baby fat and there you go.

What awkward chest hair? I don't see any. Maybe I need a higher quality computer screen.

I don't think there's chest hair. The boy can sing, that's for sure. He has a baby face and he's practically smoothless though. Prince Erics are usually more masculine. It's not like Drew will sell tickets? If you saw the original High School Musical tour, you'll know who he is but even then. That's a limited audience and not all of those girls/parents come to NYC.

A better wig would help.

[NewYorkYankee2006]

Posted: 6/4/09 at 9:08am

i think he looks hot. prince eric is supposed to look young (18-21). sean palmer looks way too old for the role.
