Eric Corton
Eric Corton (born 11 January 1969 in Oosterbeek) is a Dutch presenter, actor, author and diskjockey. He is the face of the annual multi-media charity event Serious Request.
Eric Corton is an educated actor on the Maastricht Academy of Dramatic Arts, but he is a common celebrity and television personality in the Netherlands, not specifically known as an actor. He sang and played guitar for the now extinct bands Eric Corton Trio and Tacker. Despite his thorough acting background, Eric got known as a diskjockey at Dutch radio station 3FM before anything else, while his characteristic voice was used in numerous commercials too.
In 1995 Corton featured in the Veronica-series '20 Plus'. He met his wife Diana Sno on the set of that show. He was also part of the a comedy company called Purper, which played in theaters. He has also played in several Dutch movies and television series, but due to other commitments these have not been big, substantial roles. Most characters he played were either for his warm voice, or his typical masculine appearance.
He did bring his theater and acting experience to the spotlight already, but not with great acknowledgment. That would rapidly change when in 2012 he got cast for the series Penoza, alongside the much laurelled actress Monic Hendrickx, in a cast featuring several top-rated actors in the Netherlands. In the series, he plays the character of John de Weerd, a big-hearted, withdrawn and loving man, who would not harm a fly, but who is married to a Carmen (played by Monic Hendrickx) who gets dragged deeper and deeper into the world of the international organized crime against her own will, due to the mistakes her late husband and brother had made. The character of John strongly disapproves of the actions his wife has to take, but he lets her, out of his eyesight. In the meanwhile he takes care of both her and his sons from prior relationships, as well as Camen's orphaned grandson.
In 2002 and 2003 Eric was the voice over for Robot Wars: The Dutch Battles, a spin-off from the British television show.
He also presented ‘De Garage’ for another broadcaster than BNN, namely VPRO and several radio shows.
Eric is a well-known radio host and DJ. Partly due to his remarkable features, among which several tattoos, including on his hands, he is embraced by the Dutch rock scene, more than any other radio DJ. He is also an avid supporter of live music, using his radio station to promote Dutch live bands on any given occasion. One of the bands that profited from Eric's support is Voicst, which he aired on any occasion for a long period of time on his radio shows.
Eric is a well-known rock fan and has testified on this in several interviews.
