Eric was a construction worker of the DHARMA Initiative. He may have been killed along with other members of the DHARMA Initiative in the Purge, or he may have left the island sometime between 1977 and The Purge.
On the Island
1977
Eric first appeared on the day that the new recruits came to The Island. He was the Barracks settling a bicycle in the background while Juliet discusssed babies with Amy. ("Namaste")
Eric helping a new female recruit
Later that day, he was seen in the Processing Center, standing at the entrance right behind Kate. Later he was seen sitting at the table assisting a new recruit. ("Namaste")
A couple of days later, he was seen wearing an Orchid construction helmet, and interrupted the filming of the Arrow Orientation film to tell Dr. Chang about a problem at the construction site for the Orchid. He transported Dr. Chang in a DHARMA van to the still under construction Orchid greenhouse, then escorted Dr. Chang underground to a superior of his and returned to work. ("Because You Left") ("The Variable")
Before the 1977 Barracks battle, Eric was seen walking in front of Jack and Sayid, staring at them. It's possible that he survived the battle and escorted off the island prior to 1977 or he may have been killed in the Purge. ("The Incident, Part 1")
Trivia
- This character is officially credited as anxious guy in the ABC Medianet press release.
- In "The Incident, Part 1", Eric was possibly portrayed by an extra, but the extra's hair style and face also look like Brad Berryhill, who portrayed Eric in previous episodes.
- The same extra also appeared in "Namaste", and wore the grey jumpsuit. Since Eric wore the grey jumpsuit, it can be assumed that he was portraying Eric, even though his jumpsuit had no name and job title on it.
