Eric William McGlynn Ruszkowski was born on April 19, 1993 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, USA to Henry Ruszkowski Jr. and Christine McGlynn. Eric is the second oldest of 6 children, he has 4 other sisters, Kara Lauer, Brianna Williams, Anabelle Ruszkowski, and Amelia Ruszkowski, and he has 1 brother, Timmy Fries. The first time Eric showed interest in being a performer, he was backstage at his father's performance as Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream. As his father performed his lines on stage, Eric was reciting them backstage verbatim. It was clear at that point that Eric was meant to be a performer. He started taking dance classes where he learned Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Irish dancing. Throughout Middle School and High School he was in the chorus. In his Freshman year of High School, he was accepted into The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts. In his sophomore year, Eric joined his school's drama club. Here he received his first role as Agent Coen (Officer Coen) in the club's play The Little Box of Oblivion. In his Junior year of High School, he auditioned for the school production of "You're A Goodman, Charlie Brown" and received the title role as Charlie Brown. In the same year, Eric auditioned for an independent movie called Can't Judge A Book, but only received a role as an extra. He began attending The Community College of Philadelphia as a Theater Major. In 2012, Eric became apart of the Siena Players and got the role of The Train Conductor in their performance of White Christmas and in 2013 got the role of Brick Hawvermale in their production of Curtains. In 2013, Eric was an extra on the set of Do No Harm. That same year Eric auditioned for the X Factor USA in Long Island, NY. He made it to the live auditions, but was not seen on stage due to time restraint. Eric was taking voice lessons from Glenn Seven Allen, an accomplished voice teacher in the New York area. He has gone to 20 classes for acting at T. Schreiber Studio in New York, NY. Most recently he became a client of Central Casting in New York, NY where he has been given the opportunity to be a background actor on the television shows Orange is the New Black, The Tap, and Time After Time.
