Eric Gorbaty, initially and often credited as Eric G (and once erroneously as Erik), is an actor best known for his roles in the Bread's Crumbs series and The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods. Eric made his acting debut with Bread's Crumbs in June 2014, in which he portrays Corporal Crunch. He reprised the role in its sequel, and later cameoed in the third film and The Conundrum Dimension.
For several years, Eric acted within the Bread's Crumbs series and didn't participate in any other projects. In November 2015, he was cast in The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods, and filmed the project from July 2016 to February 2017. He also portrays numerous characters in The AP Team, as well as The Rodent in the short film Pizza Might Come. Eric's last collaboration with Scott was The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods, which released in March 2017.
Though he didn't film with Scott past 2017, and has since retired from his films, Eric appears in pictures in Kaine West: No Salvation, and makes an archival vocal cameo in Bread's Crumbs 5: Forgotten Future - which saw the return of nearly all the series' actors, though Eric was absent.
Biography[]
2014[]
Eric made his film debut in 2014 with Bread's Crumbs, playing the character of Corporal Crunch. Eric wasn't entirely interested in the project and thus barely appeared in it. At the time, Scott Pincus didn't know Eric very well, and he mistakenly credited him as "Erik". Around this time, Ryan Bowman offered Eric a chance to appear in Jurassic Shark III: The Revolution as a masked InGen employee, but Eric turned down the offer as he wasn't interested.
2015[]
Eric went on to play Corporal Crunch in the sequel, Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo, which was filmed and released in June 2015. Unlike in the first film, Eric actually has lines in this installment. In August, unreleased archival footage of Eric from Bread's Crumbs 2 was used in The Conundrum Dimension. was used Several months later, Eric grew interested in working with Scott on their high school graduation project, for which Scott hoped to make a full length movie. Eric decided to work with Scott on the film, and in November 2015 he was added to the cast of The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods - the decided project. The film was set to be Eric's first major project with Scott, considering he had smaller roles in Bread's Crumbs and its sequel.
2016[]
For several months, Eric still didn't participate in any LordStarscream100 films. In June 2016, a brief scene of Eric was filmed for Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam; Eric didn't even know his "cameo" was being filmed, and was still credited for the project.
In July 2016, Eric began filming The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods, participating in much of the film's production throughout the year. In August 2016, he played The Rodent in the short film Pizza Might Come - his first official role outside of the Bread's Crumbs series. Eric completed the majority of his scenes for Creepy Guy 4 by December 2016.
2017[]
Eric filmed his final scenes for The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods in February 2017, and also recorded ADR for several scenes. The film was ultimately released in March 2017, and Eric presented it in June 2017, shortly before graduating high school. Due to him moving in early 2019, this wound up being his last collaboration with Scott.
Eric was set to return as Corporal Crunch for Bread's Crumbs 4: Mass Consumption, having expressed interest in the project and even planning to show up for filming. However, he ultimately resigned from the project due to scheduling conflicts and a lack of interest.
2018[]
On March 5, 2018, the fifth Creepy Guy in the Woods film, The Curse of the Creepy Guy in the Woods was announced, and Eric was confirmed to not reprise his role. Scott says Eric's absence from the story was always planned long before Eric retired from his films, as Scott saw no place for the character.
Eric made his "last appearance" in The AP Team, which received a remastered re-release in June 2018. The project was originally made back in June 2016 for his AP U.S. History class, alongside several other LS100 actors. Scott had long planned to re-edit parts of the film and give it a wider release on his channel. Though he filmed it years earlier, this wound up being Eric's last film released on Scott's channel.
In October 2018, Scott learned that Eric is moving out-of-state, and as a result they won't be making more films in the future. The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods serves as his final new film role.
2019[]
Despite not physically appearing in the film, pictures of Eric as Corporal Crunch are featured in Kaine West: No Salvation, though he was not credited. One of the pictures had Eric's face superimposed onto that of a World War II soldier, to depict the character's historic background.
2020[]
In April 2020, Eric was contacted to make a vocal cameo as Corporal Crunch in Bread's Crumbs 5: Forgotten Future. He "considered it", saying it "seems like it can be fun".
2021[]
Scott made numerous attempts to contact Eric about recording his vocal cameo, but Eric was unresponsive. As a result, his cameo consists of archival audio from The Legend of the Creepy Guy in the Woods. Eric was one of the series' few actors not to return for Forgotten Future, and of the fifteen actors who portray The Clan, he is the only one who did not record new voiceover, and as such is not credited.
