Personal life and career
Born in 1971 in Upland, California, Eric began to fulfill his mother's dream of him and his siblings becoming actors when he appeared in a Jack in the Box commercial. By age fifteen, Walker was determined to pursue his dream of acting. He soon after came into contact with a couple of agents which got him into his first television roles such as Webster. Walker later went on to play the role of Mace Towani in Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor set in the Star Wars expanded universe after being recruited by Lucasfilms.
Walker has been inactive from playing roles in films since 2006, but intends to pursue future projects.[2][3] Walker also planned on writing a book of his memoirs including his role as Mace Towani and experiences with fellow actor Warwick Davis and the rest of the cast. The book "Growing up on Skywalker Ranch" was planned for publication in 2008 but is currently requiring funding to be produced.[4] He has also separately worked with Davis in producing documentaries about participating in the Ewok adventure films.[5]
Walker currently works as a music producer and has also produced audio tracks themed on the Star Wars universe.
