Eric Curry was born in Los Angeles, vintage 1956. Raised on sugary breakfast cereals, and Saturday morning cartoons, with healthy doses of "Gilligan's Island" re-runs thrown in for good measure. Graduating the public schools system with a solid "C" grade point average, he was clearly destined for greatness, or at least a career in the visual arts.
