He is present and relaxed which makes him good at comedy and drama roles. His weakest trait as an actor is that he isn't charming. Take a look at Matt Damon in the sitcom clip of Will and Grace!

Eric McCormack Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson

Will and Vicki. The virgin Walden/Abelson voyage. If you’re gonna break the almost 3 yrs to the day pandemic Zoom streak, and do a first Live in person from the new digs, how better than with handsome, charming, fabulous, Emmy, SAG, and GLAAD Award Winning, Eric McCormack? Couldn’t be done. If you’re gonna look into a set of eyeballs, share rarefied air, lotsa laughs, and some snacks, well…it doesn’t get better than this. Thank you, Loren Gold for putting up with my incessant begging and pleading and making this happen. 

Exceeding all expectations, Eric was easy, expressive, talented (he did accents, impressions, and sang a teeny bit), and crazy fun. Stories, stories, and more stories, one better than the last. When we wrapped and Eric’s fab assistant, Michelle Loparo, said some of said stories were new to her, well, score! From his early days in Toronto, school plays with David Furnish, no, really! Day jobs at Baskin Robbins, and a gas station, his father’s secret revealed, childhood heroes and how one blew Eric’s adult mind, five years doing Shakespeare in rep, breaking into TV, Lonesome Dove, meeting his unlikely perfect partner, manifesting his highest dream––auditioning for James Burrows, landing the part that would change his life, Will and Grace fun, bringing childhood imagings to life… Freddy Mercury, Barry Manilow, Elton John, starring on Broadway in The Music Man, turning serious… Travelers (Netflix- 3 seasons to binge), the upcoming, Departure (Peacock), Slasher (AMC), The Other Black Girl (Hulu) the acclaimed Drinkwater (Canadian Prime, soon here), plus another Broadway turn, The Cottage, directed by his great friend, Game Changers alum, Jason Alexander, coming this summer, and, as if that t’weren’t enough, two podcasts soon to drop, one, Eating Out, with his pal, Steven Weber, a Women Who Write alum, and Just Jack and Will with his great friend Sean Hayes. I’m exhausted typing it, let alone this indefatigable man living it all, no doubt, brilliantly. 

There are more stories, unmentioned. Tasty treats reenacted to delight. I’m still basking in the glow, wondering how I’ll ever Zoom again. Eric McCormack has ruined me for pandemic worry. What a way to break free. Whee!

Today, Live from my living room, Emmy, SAG, and GLAAD Award Winner, Eric McCormack. WHAT? I know! *faints dead away*

I don't have time to write liner notes, I have to lose 10 pounds, get a facelift, bake cookies, try on everything in my closet, and clean the bathroom. 

Suffice it to say that Will Truman will be in the house... we will be talking about that, about Lonesome Dove, Travelers, Drinkwater, Departure, Slasher, The Other Black Girl (now that's a departure!), A Little Night Music, heading to Broadway under Jason Aexander's direction in The Cottage, and to the podcast world with Steven Weber in Eating Out, and with Jack, I mean Sean Hayes in Just Jack and Will. Not to mention chit-chat about Barry, Loren, Linda, Freddy, Elton... so much more to be revealed... if my fan girl jelly brain functions. 

We'll be taking questions, please make them good, and don't embarrass me in front of HIM. I'll be taking care of that all by myself.
