The saddest thing ever

ER alum Eriq La Salle is complaining that the only thing anyone ever wants to ask him about is his tenure as Dr. Benton on a bazillion years of the long-running show.

And he complained at a press conference where he was promoting his new Hallmark movie.  Ugh.

Hartford’s Eriq LaSalle was at press tour to talk about a Hallmark movie in which he’ll star.
But he kept being asked about his biggest role, as Dr. Peter Benton on the long-running hospital drama “ER.”

Which started to get a little annoying to him.

“OK, I mean look, it was a defining moment, you know, for a lot of us as artists,” La Salle said at last. “You know, it was a show that was a little bit ahead of its time. We had a great time doing it. I don’t know what else to say. I talked about the show so much. I prefer to talk about ‘Relative Stranger.’”
