American actor Eric Orman was born in Laguna Hills, California to an engineer from Albuquerque, New Mexico and a nurse from Grosse Pointe, Michigan - Mike and Christine Orman, respectively. As a young child, he was quickly encouraged to sign with a talent agency but declined due to his mother's battle with cancer. Seeking a well rounded upbringing for their child, his parents instead relocated to Dallas, Texas where he actively pursued sports, music, and the arts. Shortly after graduating Lake Highlands High School he went on a national tour with his rock band, First Class Fever and gained record label interest. Concluding a brief stint ended by various members leaving the group to pursue careers elsewhere, he returned to school and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the University of North Texas within three years.
He found himself back in Los Angeles having sold his belongings and lived the stereotypical life of a starving artist. While there, he juggled attending Film and Television classes while also working on independent productions.
His first appearance was a bit part for the short film '7 Day Gig" (2013). After making a quick cameo on the reality dating show "The Hook Up" (2013) he departed the West Coast lifestyle. Putting his traveling shoes on again, he relocated to New York to continue acting. He has since appeared in Print Ads, worked on the feature "Holy Fire" (2015), a few theatrical shows in the Mid-West, and received praise for his portrayal of Sammy in the independent film "Pentimento" (2016). He then appeared playing the role of "Masked Man" in Season 3, Episode 6 of Mr. Robot (2017).
Taking an opportunity in Austin, Texas, he briefly worked for an autonomous vehicle company. Once his time there was rounded out, he once again returned to New York City. And upon arrival, the Covid-19 lock-down struck, rendering the film opportunities at a complete stand-still. Once again seizing the moment, he joined the United States Army Reserves and completed his training. With the post-pandemic world reaching a conclusion, he became married and snagged a bit-part on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon (2021) as "Freddy Kreuger," and "Vladimir" on Have You Seen This Man? (2022).
Almost immediately after completing these acting jobs, he was pulled on orders for a deployment with the United States Army over seas. During this time he received multiple awards, successfully completed his mission and came home early to witness the birth of his child. Coinciding his paternal leave, the SAG-AFTRA strike was ongoing to which he invested his time and efforts towards helping his family.
Within months of the strike ending, he received another break-out role on CBS's, "FBI" as the character "Jared Gamble" (2024), Season 6, Episode 5 as well as performed lines and stunts on the independent feature film "Pop Pop" as the character "Non Moving Protestor" tentatively slated for a 2025 release.
Where Eric ends up next, only time will tell.
He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
