Eric Chase Anderson wins the Steve Lehman 6 Gold Star Award for All Round Creativity because he possesses rare gifts as an illustrator, writer (Chuck Dugan is AWOL) and most recently as the voice of Kristofferson in Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Originally, I planned to give Eric the SL6 Book Award for Chuck Dugan is AWOL but I got delayed. I then ended up going to Fantastic Mr. Fox, directed by Eric's brother Wes. Lo and behold there's Eric name up along side George Clooney's, Meryl Streep's, Bill Murray's and Owen Wilson's!!!!!! I was impressed. The movie was excellent and Eric was great as Kristofferson, one of the young foxes! He held own with some of the best actors in the world.
Anyways, because of Eric's role in Fantastic Mr. Fox I decided to expand the award to take into account all of Eric's talents. Please don't forget to check out his wonderful book Chuck Dugan is AWOL. This “novel with maps” chronicles the adventures of the 18-year-old Chuck Dugan as he attempts to find treasure and fix his family. It’s an original story and a real cliffhanger. I read it in one sitting which is very, very rare for me. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
AND most importantly Eric is a modest person who hasn't let the fame go to his head.
Congratulations Eric!!!
