"F-List" Actor here. I look exactly like Steve Zahn and my butt is in the new film 'TrainWreck." AMA!

Are you aware that "F-List" is a fetish based roleplaying website and do you have any regrets about the title of this AMA?

Now that you put it that way....Eh. Not really.

So...when will you be signing up and posting a link to your profile on F-List?

Who says I already havent? ;)

How does it feel to be a look a like to an actor that nobody really knows or cares about? Question two: which set that you've worked on had the best craft services?

Priceless. Uhh... Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Jon Hamm and I exchanged awkward eye contact while getting coffee. Keep the buzz alive.

LOVE THAT SHOW, and love you in it! you were the gay black guy, right?

Ding Ding Ding We have a winner! You win. Winning. Win-a-ma-win-sauce.

What was role in UKS?

Photographerヽ( ͡°╭͜ʖ╮͡° )ﾉ

What has been the defining role of your career, and why was it playing a brother in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat?

Because Donny Osmond. Need I say more?

You mind if I ass you a question?

Ass away ;)

how much did you make filming your butt in the movie?

Day-rate

Which is? Inquiring minds want to know.

Google "Day-rates for actors."

But I'm so laaaaaaazy

L2internetz

How did you get cast to play a butt?

It's all in the hips. Also, learned from your mom.

Hey i really wanna know the answer to this

Casting calls. Registering with Central Casting, Casting Networks, Actors Access, Backstage. Mail everyone your Headshot and resume. Showcase for agents and managers. Meet and network with industry. Anything with the word Actor on it, pay attention and see if it's worth your time. I answered this, and many like it in my previous AMA. Check it out! Thanks, and break legs! :)

By "exactly like Steve Zahn" do you mean you both have glasses? Because that's about the only resemblance.

Tomato, tomoto. I also usually get David Anders, Billy Magnussen or Neil Patrick Harris.

The fuck is a tomoto?

I know, right? I pronounce it Tomato.

[deleted]

Oh, I agree. But, agents, managers, and people assimilate to what they're familiar with. I use their names to help paint the picture, not piggyback. It's kinda "industry speak."

So is the film going to be a train wreck?

Total

Do you think the appearance in Trainwreck will open up opportunities for your ass to further its film career?

I hope so! Let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

What you think you're some sort of big shot now?

I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time.

How does it feel to get an F all your life ?

Pretty F'in great.

What is your real job?

"Professional pretender"

What everyone looks up to and can't stop praising, quoting, stalking, and then demonizing... Professional. Fucking. Pretenders.

Somebody's gotta do it.

What's it like being the real life Joey Triviani?

How you doin'?

I'm trying to find a question that hasn't been asked in your previous AMA, but I can't think of one. So I'll ask how are you doing right now? Where are you at in your head?

edit: i think i finished reading all your previous AMA and you sound like a cool person :)

I'm great! Thanks for asking. How are you? In my head? I'm not sure your context, but yeah. Just gig'in around. Enjoying life.

What is the best thing a director can do for you on set?

Really great question. Lead. They delegate many different areas. Even if the ship's sinking, a professional etiquette can work wonders at keeping things afloat.

Hey I saw you once. What's your favorite kind of donut? Also, I think I'd beat you at settlers of Catan.

Hey, whaddup! Challenge accepted. I like cinnamon cake donuts. Om nom nom

So you get paid to be an asshole?

My asshole was paid to be in proximity of other assholes. Yes. A "congrgation" of sorts. A "unity" of assholes. A room, filled with all different shapes and sizes. Varying levels, control. You get the picture.

Can we see your and Steve Zahn's butts so we can compare?

Sure. Here's my butt. https://instagram.com/p/5Dgn5Ji9cH/

Hey Eric! I am the guy who bought your motorcycle from you. Any chance on getting a new bike up there?

Awesome! What's up bro! How are you? Yeah, I don't know yet. I wanna try a Triumph, Cafe Racer or Harley 883 next. If I move to LA this winter, I might pick one up. Sucks only having 6-8 months of rideable weather in NY. Idk. I miss it. Ride safe!

Doing great man! Definitely can't go wrong with a Triumph or Harley. My sister-in-law owns a street triple and it is a sick bike. Anyway, awesome as hell to see you on doing an AMA. Have to brag to my friends about the famous Eric Orman I bought my bike from. Keep up the good work man.

Thank you

Was that really uou doing that yoga pose in saving Silverman?

Uou? Haven't heard of him. Maybe?

Google Day-rate for Non-Union Actor and Day Rate for SAG-AFTRA. It's somewhere along those lines.

Did you fart during the scene?

Muhaha.

Hey, I am out in LA right now Trying to create a acting career. I' m 20 with a few connections how did you start your career?

Hey! I started out doing Theater in High school. After, I picked up a degree. Then, I moved to LA. I took a lot of classes, auditioned, and tried to be the best version of myself. I currently reside in NY, but luckily I'm a phone call away from any project - so who knows what's next. They need me, I find ways to make it happen. There's a thousand ways to 'make it' just depends on what that means to you. Generally, you aim to please, set yourself up for success and find a way to give back to your audience. Good luck! See you at the red carpet. :)

I watched that movie in a pre-screening a few weeks back. It was absolutely hilarious. Although the ending needs a new line ;D

Is Amy Shumer really as hilarious in person?

Yup.

What did you think of the Brandon Saad trade?

I really hope Tony Romo shoots a hole in one. That Michael Jordan guy really knows how to pitch the puck into the field goal. Brandon Saads backhand might just even rally the 1080 this year. I hope he bowls a perfect Messi.

What's the biggest role that you've come close to getting (if any)?

Buffalo Wild Wings commercial 2nd round. Which is funny, because I worked there at the time. Commercials pay well, but are incredibly hard to book. Uh, I did a short Film with the director Michael Steves called "Rebound." His next project titled "Clinger" just recieved major distribution this fall. The short film I was in titled "7 Day gig" won best short at LA film fest...which is how many actors get 'noticed.' I did a gig for MTV and Burger King. Check out my website or IMDB. I like to work, apply to new projects, and act. Anything can happen. I'm ready and excited for the future, while living in the now. Thanks for asking.

Thank you very much for doing this Mr. Orman. Can I ask; What was it like working with Judd Apatow? :~)

Yeah! Of course. I'm grateful for the opportunity. Actually, the day I was there, no joke, they had a guy fill in as Director. For whatever reason, Judd couldn't be there. But, there was enough knowledge and structure that there wasn't reason for concern. Everyone knew what they were doing and was expected of them - a real solid team. Also, the scene was pretty straightforward. "Dude on date with girl intends to kiss her"

How were you able to slide in to your role? Secondly, if you could create your own ice-cream flavor, what would it be?

I played in a pop-punk band 07-09(First Class Fever). There's a new shop in the Lower East Side serving Bacon Ice Cream. I really want to try it.

How's it feel to finally crack your way into show business?

I feel silent.....but deadly. :P

What else is on your resume?

Can freestyle rap poorly. The Macarena. I once poked a squirrel eating pizza in Bed-Stuy.

Hey Erik, I have one for 'ya. If honesty is the best policy, then is dishonesty the second best policy?

Oh jee. I don't know the best policy. I just know me. Isn't that what makes the world interesting? So many avenues.

Do you hang out other "F" actors? or any "D" ator? Is it like high school where you hang out with your own crowd and hopefully maybe one day you get to hang out with the "cooler" kids?

I see people as people. We're all in different walks of life. I don't think the ranking thing is an appropriate way to handle things. But, marketable name recognition is important as it is show 'business.' Also depends how far you want to grow, adapt and expand, and how it all plays out. I knew a guy who was lined up to be the next Ashton Kutcher. He choose helping his passing father and teaching school instead. He still acts too. You can buy attention but you can't buy respect. All different walks of life. It's interesting how it all works. People come and go. Some change, some stay the same. I hoped I answered you question. It's hard to pinpoint an exact response.

Do you think Amy Schumer is remotely funny, no or no?

She's great. I mean. When it comes down to it, it's all subjective, right? Diversity is the spice of life.

What does your butt smell like?

Smells like... victory.

What is Amy Schumer like in real life?

A mythical dragon of epic proportions. She has tentacles, and spots, a voice of a thousand sirens, looming with a towering fiercity. Did I mention X-Ray vision? Cause she also sees in naked.

I didn't read up too much on it. Just as any business drama, I wish them all a peaceful resolve.

hey, are you really gay? or just unsuccessful with women?

Sounds like the start of any great conversation. I identify with heterosexuality, although I've worn drag and played a gay man in a Theatrical Scene from Angels In America. My success with women? I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Thank you for your Trainwreck question. Tips hat
