Eric Roberts on His Famous Family: No Work at the Dinner Table
Oscar and three-time Golden Globe nominee Eric Roberts says his showbiz family never discusses work at the dinner table. The actor joins Cheddar to discuss his latest project, "No Solicitors." Sister to Julia Roberts and father to Emma Roberts, the star says he'd love to work with his daughter one day, but she's been too busy.
Roberts reveals how the film industry has changed over his four-decade career. He says there are no small movies anymore, just movies with enough money to look like big movies.
