Eric Winter is gonna "Moonlight"
Eric Winter, who briefly played one of Kevin Walker's love interests on "Brothers & Sisters" this season and last, has lined up another gig now that Kevin has chosen to be with the character of Scotty (Luke MacFarlane). Without that key relationship, I'd think there would be little left for Eric to do other than be the brother of Rob Lolwe's Sen. MacAllister who is running for president.
According to the new issue of TV Guide, Eric has been tapped for a recurring role on CBS' "Moonlight" which will have its post-strike premiere on April 25. He will be in at least three episodes as Assistant DA Benjamin Talbot, a handsome, self-assured guy who plays by his own rules.
Eric is a very appealing and talented actor and I hope "Moonlight" will fare better than last CBS series "Viva Laughln" which the network yanked last fall after just two airings. Eric told me in an interview last fall that he really enjoyed doing that show which gave him and others the opportunity to sing!

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
