Meet Eric Olsson
Born and raised in Sacramento - CA, Eric is trained in the Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio. He also graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a BA in Film & Media Studies.
Appearing in the 2024 season finale of NBC’s LAW & ORDER: SVU “Duty to Hope”as the main perp, Eric combines raw athleticism and intensity with honed technique. Yet, it’s his genuine warmth and mischievous spirit he brings to the stage - qualities showcased in his original role in the Off-Broadway play Soonest Mended as “a handsomely mustachioed masseuse named Kieran (Eric Olsson, competently executing the job sans happy ending)." - TheaterMania
While at UCSB, he played the lead in the Pringles’ Unleash Your Inner Xtreme national award-winning commercial contest after captaining a national championship in club volleyball.
Upon graduating he played the lead role in J.R.R Tolkien’s Great-grandson, Nicholas Tolkien’s comedic feature film debut Masquerade which premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
