    Mr. Eric Braeden,he is a great actor, great German American, and simply a great human being. I am very pleased that he was born, I wish him a very, very long and continued productive life. Would love to see him do more films on the big screen, and would also like to see him star in his own prime time T.V. series. He is one of the best actors ever.

    What the motion picture industry needs is more of Eric Braeden.He is such an enormous talent,he is so capable of making another great motion picture. Would love to see him do a remake of the "Blue Angel" which the original star of that film was another great german actor, Curt Jergans. Mr Braeden would be absolutely perfect for that part.

    The role of Victor Newman fits Eric Beaeden to perfection. His acting ability is obvious and incredible. He has a strong, passionate, determined disposition and would be perfect as a romantic hero as well. Although 70, he is very handsome andattractive in his obvious virility.Nur noch so weiter.
