Erik is on Regis and Kathie Lee today. I live in the central time zone and didn't know this until just now.

If you missed it he talked about the first month he was working at "ER". It was hard at first but now it's fun. They didn't mention anything about that rumor that's going around.

He said he was coming back next season because when Regis said something about how his character is obnoxious, Erik said he was written that way and he is kind of misunderstood and he said "I guess that's why I'm coming back next season with this hair!" (because he had dyed the very top of his hair light brown/blondish.) I don't really know what his hair had to do with the character, but whatever!

THey also talked about his U-571 movie and how he got to meet Robert De Niro recently and that he met his girlfriend in a film festival in Sweden and she came to Malta (?) when he filmed U-571 and they fell in love. He also said he went to England this summer and people recognized him from ER and he was surprised to learn that so many people watch it.
