Eric was forthcoming and, we believe, candid in his responses; gracious, and willing to discuss everything we asked. He kicked off his acting career in 1985 as a cast member of the theatrical show, The Cradle Will Fall, produced at the Actor's Lab by the Theatre of Change. MP: It didn't leave you craving for the city lights? Not to portray these times would be to "twist" history. I thought I was forgotten, apparently not. He was just a guy. You know what?

And he'd do that with everything. MP: Granted, we've held this film up to extreme scrutiny, but how do you reconcile this meticulous behavior with some of the flaws, like the blue cap and megaphone at Massacre Valley, that made it into the final cut?

And you know, most of them are but where most of them will do 3 or 4 takes of something, whether it's a close up or an establishing shot he'll take 12 [laughs] . or 13. It's jacked up obviously for television so the story is more interesting. [Laughter]. Regarding Vern MP: Do you remember what scene you were filming? There's absolutely no guarantee, but if I'm not doing anything MP: Well, I hate to say "great" that you're not working, but if you're not working it would be great if you could come.

They were stiff, the leather in them was REALLY stiff, so you could carry it We could work out something. ES: Well, you know, it's a period piece. The James Fenimore Cooper book was fiction! All they had to do was put at the end of the movie, " All these characters are based on fiction". In I wish they wouldn't. You know, bad things happened to me and I left home. and I did bad things. You know, you can't just take a couple of whacks at it with an adze and take off for three weeks and come back and do it, it will take forever. All of this helps a lot in my performance.

And it has a real Schweig plays Andy Fraser, the chief of the fictional Blackstone First Nations tribe alongside an award-winning ensemble cast that includes Gemini winning actor Michelle Thrush, Gemini nominee Carmen Moore and others.

You've got European born actors recreating roles from over 200 years ago. So, by the time of the interview, we felt comfortable with him, and he with us. So, they did film something and obviously you MP: Another scene that may have been filmed but didn't make it in the final cut was when you were approaching the fort. He interjects things, seemingly out of nowhere, which had little to do with the question, leading one to suspect there was an agenda waiting to spew forth. Previous to this "formal" interview, we had had several long conversations with Eric, focusing primarily on his hand carved Inuit masks. Your masks are recreations of traditional ceremonial masks of the Inuit. Nothing like that . for the running and other activities. There's got to be a lot of women in order for there to be a lot of guys MP: Well, in that regard, most of the film takes place where you wouldn't expect to FIND a lot of women, on the battle front. I don't know. I love working with everyone on it. MUSINGS || I've never told anyone I am a Marlon Brando or whoever. How would you compare the role to others you've played?

MP: And as opposed to what you do .. acting . doesn't that put you in the spotlight? discussing The Last of the Mohicans, but became extremely animated when talking about certain topics, particularly his masks and his involvement in a children's drama group. Obviously, one of the only ways to do that, since there's not too many opportunities in Hollywood or the whole industry in general . you have to sort of start making your own We trained with Colonel David Webster [pause] I think that was his last name. I keep trying to get people to get into acting so we have someone who can focus on just being a funny guy or a bad guy or a psycho or a love interest. E: I think it was a mix. It's also the truth that you have to do something about it. EARLY And try to teach them to watch out for the warning signs. Or, at least wonder why he says it! Making it more subtle? It was probably [name omitted] He's the 1st AD. ES: No, I haven't actually. MENUS! Where as Indian people, for the most part, everybody listens to their elders, everybody takes care of them.

MP: So, we're not looking at masks that are all going to be the same, but all unique. Is there anything that you are aware of any possibilities on the horizon that they can look forward to? That's who you have to focus on. MP: So, most of what you've been offered, not just yourself, but with a lot of Indian people, . it's always "the Indian" role of a hundred or so years ago? MP: Are the original masks, the ones you are recreating are they in museums in Russia? Things usually turn out if you do it that way. ES: Yeah, as opposed to a few years ago, it's reasonably quiet, yeah. It is hard to do this if someone is not interested in itmind, body and soul. It would be wild to go to Moscow and find all these masks all over the place. I'll see you at the movies.". I: Do you think it's promoting your career in the way you would like it to? It's not a monumental, you know, a paradigm change, but it effects them.

Just a chance to. you can see it in them.. certain monologues that hit home with them. E: There are six different nations in the Mohawk nation. What's he like on the set?" That's why they cut that love scene out. They were the stars so they acted accordingly. And the colors. the picture that was taken of this mask, the colors were a bit off.
