Eric plays Mayor Avery Senator, a local politician who glad-hands our hero, under the impression that he works for the federal government. Mayor Senator is a political hack with dreams of moving on to greaters things.... such as perhaps one day even becoming Senator Senator.

Schumacher is a critically acclaimed and award winning Actor/Filmmaker with a steadily growing list of successful film, local and national television, and multimedia projects under his belt. Eric was raised by a family of actors. His education and experience in theater, film and voice acting began at the age of 6 and continued through his childhood and into adulthood. Among his teachers and mentors were his parents, actor Paul Schumacher, and actor/voice coach Joan Schumacher, the late actor Paul Mantee (Robinson Crusoe on Mars/ Cagney and Lacy, Etc.), the late voice actor Lucille Bliss (Smurfette on NBC's The Smurfs) and many more. Eric has also formally studied film and video production, martial arts, marketing, and progressive business philosophies.

Eric is perhaps best known for his work as an actor in Legends and Lies, the Real West on Fox TV where he played legendary law man Wyatt Earp, and then played Earp's best friend, Doc Holliday, in Alex Cox's film Tombstone Rashomon. Only a handful of other actors can say they have played both roles in nationally publicized productions. He told Flapper Press: "Since the real men were so very different physically and in personality, it's rare for one actor to be cast in both roles. I consider myself a character actor at heart, and I like to disappear into a character, change my appearance, and become someone else on screen... Once cast, I had to lose a ton of weight to play Doc, and it was a particularly challenging role, physically and emotionally. What I didn't realize was how very close in appearance I would be to the real Doc once I went scrawny and grew the mustache."
In 2015 Eric became a partner in groundbreaking multimedia company Seelie Studios, LLC founded by popular niche market media personality and multi award winning director/producer the late Don Dehm. Upon Dehm's unfortunate passing after a long battle with cancer, Eric became the president of the company and is carrying on the legacy and the extensive strategies he and Dehm developed together.

Believing in doing something positive with his work and notoriety, Eric is a member of the board for the Forgotten Children (http://www.theforgottenchildren.org/), a non-profit organization which has almost completed a boarding school for some of the more then 100,000 homeless children in Senegal, Africa and a supporter of the American Cancer Society, for which he MC'd a large event this past year. The event raised over $140,000.00 to help cancer victims fight the disease which took his business partner and friend's Don Dehm's life.
