Eric La Salle is one of the most underrated actors of our time. You never see him as an actor pretending to be someone - instead he becomes the character that he is playing. I wish he was front of the camera more often. On another note: I would love to see Peter Benton's backstory turned into it's own show.

He was so good as Dr. Benton! Whenever he was on the screen I'd always be glued to the screen because I never knew what he was going to do, so he's right about the audience not being able to pin him down and that makes for an interesting character. I totally love what he said about the audience having to keep up and I agree. All too often now both movies and TV assume their audience is dumb so they dumb it down for the masses, which is why I am watching ER again and I watched it during it's original run but it's been so long it's like new again even if I remember certain plot points, it's refreshing.

Nothing can compare this series to any other series. They were believable characters. I have watched the whole series many times already and I can still feel my heart beating for some of the scenes. As I watched it so many times. I can see Grey’s Anatomy stole some of the story lines from ER. So, ER is my favorite television show of all times. ❤

Eriq is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Great actor, great writer, great director and even better human being. He treated me like a buddy even though he had just met me. I'll never forget that night.

I remember a scene where Dr green walks into a room to tell a father holding his newborn that his wife died. The camera doesn’t follow him into to the room and we just see the reactions and I thought it was perfect.

Fine acting doesn't make a "pioneer". Howdy Dowdy was a pioneer. Lambchop, Bob Clampett and Beany and Cecil, pioneers. Sheldon Leonard, Mel Brooks and Ruth Buzie were voice actors on Saturday morning cartoons in 1962: Pioneers.
