Eric Charles Jorgenson (Ullyses) is extremely grateful to have this opportunity to do what he unequivocally loves with CVRep. A Los Angeles based actor, his professional stage credits include playing The Man in 7 Stories, Edgar in King Lear, Young Clifford in Henry VI (2&3), Theseus/Oberon in Midsummer Night’s Dream, Sir Stephen Scroop in Richard II, Ratcliff in Richard III and Tom Wilkes in the one character play Black and Blue. Beginning his artistic life as a musician, Eric played violin on stage as various characters in Jesus Christ Superstar, Playboy of the Western World, James and the Giant Peach, A Little House Christmas, and When Stars Align. He has recorded violin solo work for various short films including Homeless, in which he also appeared on screen playing, of course, a street musician. Other film credits include Broken Glass, Yes And, The Real Boy, As a Last Resort and The Equity Partners. He has written and produced two short films, Away with Childish Things, and Chasing Serenity and is grateful to finally have an idea for a third. Eric wishes to thank everyone at CVRep for their extraordinary hard work and commitment, Ron Celona for his imagination, and Anna Nicholas for her trust and compassion. Finally, Eric dedicates his work on Annapurna to his father, Chuck Jorgenson, a Great Dane from Polk County, Wisconsin.
