Let me put it in perspective Eric. You're in a show on Broadway and you take it on the road. The show takes you all up and down the east coast. Towards the end of the tour you meet a guy, staying in your hotel, who says that he's been following you up and down the coast seeing every show that you've done. Would you hang out with him?

He was very short though. And older. Not his brother. I don't think. I actually just remembered that I had already met Roy before. When they played the Clippers last season, there were a couple Zach Randolph fans sitting next to me yelling "Give it to Zach! Give the ball to Zach" on every possession. It was funny. Anyway, they gave me and my friends passes to stay and meet the players. Roy actually went down with his heel injury in that game, but at the time, I didn't know why he didn't play the second half. I was very excited about the team at the time and told them that I thought they'd be better than people thought. Travis said "I sure hope so." Anyway, they didn't remember me today but it was still cool to see them again.

Eric, since members of the Blazers broadcasting crew know your following the team and know your a "celebrity," have you thought about asking them if you could write something for the team website instead of NBA.com?

I must admit, I do not watch bones (my mom and sister love the show though) but I do remember you posting waaaaaay back when you found out you got the role that you would try and sneak a blazer jersey on the air. Now that we are getting national attention you should try to do so... assuming the strike ends someday.

Enjoy the rest of the trip, I would love to be able to do something like that in the near future.

I'm thinking the guys are thinking you're a stalker, Eric. Not saying you are, but they might be thinking that. How best to show them you're not?

I love it when people come up to me and recognize me. As for hanging out with a person... it would depend on the person. If he or she seemed cool I would. One of my closest friends met me while stalking me. I was doing Jesus Christ Superstar and I had a fair amount of fans. They would IM me (my email address was easily accessible) and meet me at the stage door after performances. Anyway, they all knew I was a Blazers fan. I think I said so in my bio. Two separate fans decided to buy two tickets for me and her to go to a Blazer game together. I should've declined them both, I suppose. Shouldn't have taken advantage of my fans. But I wanted to go to the game. So I had to choose who to go. I chose basically at random and told the other one that I already had tickets to the game. So I went to the game with this fan, Angie, and we had a great time. She was from Oregon but was a nanny in NYC. It was fun watching the game with her so we decided to meet a sports bar for their next game. And the next and the next. We've been friends for over 7 years now.

I pushed for wearing the jersey and the showrunner was behind it but then it never happened. Occasionally, my character talks about basketball though. In fact, in one scene, I was supposed to talk about a victim who was a power forward and I was supposed to say "the next Kobe Bryant." I explained to the showrunner that Kobe was not a power foward, that we should say Karl Malone instead. The writer on set said "He's never heard of him. Has to be someone famous. Go with Kobe."

That episode was supposed to air last season but was canceled because of the Virginia Tech Massacre. I believe it will finally air this May.

Has to be someone famous!? Karl Malone isn't famous?

Guh...that showrunner (what the hell is a showrunner?) is a freaking tool.

His brother (John) is a pro-baller and apparently much shorter than Travis: http://www.hoopshype.com/players/travis_outlaw.htm

Doubt it. Brandon has a steady girlfriend and they just had a baby son together. I would be seriously surprised (and very disappointed) if he was a "player" on the road.

I'm pretty sure Brandon isn't going to be a "player" on the road--he's got a very nice GF. If he has urges which...who doesn't? He probably just spends some alone time by himself in the room

Past couple of years? I'm sure some got some hookers (COUGH Z-BO COUGH).

So what exactly did you say to Roy and Travis Erik?

NewAgeBaller

Is Travis as shy as they say he is? And assuming you were like right next to them, how tall do you think Roy and Travis are? Same as their measurements?
