He starred in the play and film version of "Talk Radio" and has appeared or starred in over a dozen other films including: "Wonderland"; "Deconstructing Harry"; the "Law & Order" TV series; ABC's shortlived "Love Monkey"; "Beavis and Butthead Do America"; "Dolores Claiborne", "Under Siege 2" and the CBS miniseries "Blonde", based on the book by Joyce Carol Oates.

7) He was born April 24, 1953 and raised in Woburn, MA. He graduated from Oberlin College.

COMMONLY* HELD MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ERIC BOGOSIAN AND HIS WORK

1) He is a comedian.
He is not a comedian. He never performed in comedy clubs, never did stand-up, did not hang out with comedians. He likes comedians though.

2) He is a performance artist.
He is not a performance artist. Performance art is performance made by visual artists. He is a writer and actor who spent time around the art scene and performed at places like The Kitchen, known for performance art, but he is not a performance artist.

3) "Talk Radio" was originally an on-stage solo.
"Talk Radio" was always a multi-character play. He wrote it and co-created it with the artist Tad Savinar.

4) Oliver Stone wrote the screenplay of the film "Talk Radio."
The screenplay was almost entirely based on the play and some biographical information about Alan Berg, a talk show host in Denver who was murdered in 1984 by white supremacists. Bogosian wrote the screenplay with help from Oliver Stone.

5) Bogosian wrote solos before he wrote plays.
Between 1977 and 1982, he wrote a dozen multi-character and ensemble performances and plays, including "The New World", "Scenes from the New World", "Sheer Heaven" and "Men in Dark Times". He began performing the solos because he was broke.

6) Bogosian is related to other people with the same or similar last names.
Not generally.

7) Bogosian is on drugs.
nope.

*Not that common. We figure about .25 percent or one in four hundred Americans are aware of this truly underground Armenian-American phenomenon.

Disabled Civil Rights





May 29 2009 10:45 PM

I have Backers muscular dystrophy do not know how long I have to live I'm trying to get million friends for Disabled Civil Rights cause goal and short video Added me to your top friends please. Goal to have the Supreme Court Olmstead decision 6 to 3 Law enforced and have community-based programs for all who qualify for med waiver and consumer directed care which will save the taxpayers approximately 50% and provide opportunities for jobs instead of having disabled institutionalized or a nursing home. Also the George W. Bush presidential Executive Order 13217.Which means it has been designated a nationwide problem! To be Moses for all disabled people to remove the yoke the burden on our disabled back and set disabled people free.Keep Rock 'n rolling on!

Hey, Mr. Bogosian!

I just want to say I enjoy your work. I was in a student production of "Talk Radio" in 2006 at my alma mater, Fitchburg State College, in Fitchburg, MA.
I like your work on LAW & ORDER: CI, too, though now, I've been missing it because I no longer have a TV. That'll change soon, I miss my LAW & ORDER shows, love 'em.
Do you do any work at the Abingdon Theater in NYC? I will be working there soon in the fall after my stint for Dolly Parton at Dollywood. I would like to do some more of your brilliant work. :)
