Eric Seltzer

Eric Seltzer was born on May 7, 1964 in Clark, NJ. The youngest of three sons, Eric was inspired and encouraged by his parents, Martin and Marjorie Seltzer, who both saw Eric's unique talents at an early age. As a young woman, Marjorie, an aspiring actress and poet in her own right, was very involved in local community theater. That love of the arts would leave an indelible mark on Eric for the rest of his childhood and carry through into his adult life. As a teenager, Eric was involved in various high school productions. After briefly attending college at Rutgers University, Eric decided to focus all of his attention on his acting career. He started his journey doing what most fledgling actors do; extra work. He appeared in movies (albeit rather briefly) such as "The Muppets Take Manhattan", "Prizzi's Honor", and "Goodfellas". In 1989, Eric got a waiter's job at Vincent's Clam Bar in New York's Little Italy, where he would meet his life-long best friend and collaborator, Jonathan Bene
