Leigh, who played Eric's onscreen love interest, spoke of the profound devastation caused by his death. She remembered him as a man with a "heart of gold," whose infectious laugh and passionate spirit deeply impacted those around him.

She further highlighted Eric's intellectual depth, noting his ability to engage in lengthy philosophical discussions even while on set. Leigh also emphasized his role as a devoted father to his daughters, Billie and Georgia, and his strong commitment to his work and chosen causes.
