Eric was originally intended for just the "Six Feet Under" (2001) pilot episode (where he's listed in the credits as "Claire's Meth Date"), but Alan Ball liked the chemistry between Balfour and Lauren Ambrose, so he made Gabriel Dimas a regular part of the program.

Played Satan in a car commercial in 2002. He punished a man by forcing him to drive a minivan.

Engaged to actress Moon Bloodgood (April 24, 2005)

He was cut from the John Travolta movie Be Cool (2005), although at least some of his work appears among the deleted scenes on the DVD.
