Eriq La Salle --- best known as Dr. Benton on the TV medical drama ER, but he's also a writer, director, and producer. Eriq has worked on Broadway, off-Broadway, in television and movies. He entered foster care shortly after birth and was one of five children brought up by foster mother Ada Haynes. He attended prestigious Juilliard and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University. My favorite role of his: Darryl Jenks in Coming to America "Just let your Soul Glo!"
