Meet Eric Olsson
Eric Olsson is a New York–based actor twice spotlighted by Spectrum News in Los Angeles as an “Up & Coming Actor.” He trained in the Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio and holds a B.A. in Film & Media Studies from UC Santa Barbara.
He appeared as the lead antagonist in the 2024 season finale of NBC’s Law & Order: SVU (“Duty to Hope”) and starred in a Tribeca-premiering short film. He also played the lead in Masquerade, the comedic feature debut of Nicholas Tolkien, great-grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien, which premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
Rooted in stagecraft, Eric originated a role in the Off-Broadway play Soonest Mended, where TheaterMania described him as “a handsomely mustachioed masseuse named Kieran competently executing the job (sans happy ending).”
While at UCSB, he gained national attention playing the lead in Pringles’ Unleash Your Inner Xtreme award-winning commercial contest. A former nationally ranked gymnast and AAA-rated beach volleyball player, Eric brings athletic discipline and physical credibility to his work.
An avid steward of One-on-One Studios, he is set to play the lead of two feature films this year. He holds dual citizenship with EU.
Charming leading man with an edge. The guy you trust, until you shouldn’t!
