Not unlike many adult stars who entered the industry in the late 1960s, Eric began his career as a mainstream actor. He appeared in several commercials for Gillette, Coleco toys, and Close-Up toothpaste, and was represented by the William Morris Agency. He was sometimes credited as Eric Cowards, Erik Edwards, Rob Emmett, Rob Everett, Rob Evert or Eric Roberts.

Eric is the only person to have performed sex on film in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, appearing in about 1000 flicks.

He first showed up in hardcore loops opposite Linda Lovelace way back in 1969, and he's still going strong right up to the present day. Eric has brought his romantic, touchy-feely sexual style to more than 500 features over the past two and a half decades without losing a step.

Eric got into porn in the late 60's, just as the industry was about to undergo its first big boom. He rode the post-'Deep Throat' boom to some success, performing in classic sex films like 'Babylon Pink 1,' where his rendezvous with Merle Michaels stood out as one of the absolute high points. Eric's biggest exposure was due to his work in 1978's 'Debbie Does Dallas 1,' one of the most popular hardcore features ever. His threeway romp with Christy Ford and Robin Byrd made him one of the most famous studs in the biz.

Eric has won virtually every industry honor, including the 1990 Free Speech Coalition's Lifetime Achievement Award. He's a member of the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame, cementing his status as one of the most popular studs of fans and performers alike.
