Eric Coco is a chameleon-like actor based in Los Angeles, known for his transformative performances. Born in Italy to Sicilian parents, he grew up in Italy, the UK, and the USA. After his time in foster care, Eric settled in London, where he trained in drama and Shakespeare at LAMDA. He earned a degree in Music Performance and Music Business from the MI College of Contemporary Music in Los Angeles and studied improv at The Groundlings Theatre.
Inspired by iconic actors like Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando, Eric began his artistic journey at age 10. During the pandemic, he honed his craft at the Stella Adler Studio in New York. He was chosen by Oscar-winning costume designer Janty Yates to be photographed by Ridley Scott while testing lead character costumes for *Alien: Covenant*. He has also worked on set with acclaimed directors, including Patty Jenkins, Michael Bay, and Dexter Fletcher. In his recent role as "Roman" in the indie comedy-drama series "Turning Teddy" on Prime Video, Eric fully embraced the character's physicality, preparing his body rigorously for the role of a bodybuilder. He aims to inspire the young foster generation to express themselves through acting and discover their own paths to freedom.
