Erich is an award-winning and critically acclaimed actor, singer, writer and producer working for the past 22 years in theatre, music, television and film. Best known for his role as Blake Moran on the hit TV show Madam Secretary, Erich also won critical acclaim for his performance as legendary songwriter Bob Gaudio in the Clint Eastwood directed film Jersey Boys, reprising his performance from the stage production of the Tony Award Winning Best Musical.

In 2009, while starring in the Las Vegas production of Jersey Boys, Erich was abruptly fired from the show. Soon after, as Erich years later revealed to People Magazine, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and was subject to surgery and chemotherapy. Here he sat with no money, no career and now his own health was up in the air.

Now on the other side of this experience Erich says, “it was the best thing that ever happened” to him. As of 2018, Erich is cancer free, starring on a hit TV show and owns his production company with several film and television projects in development. He is a survivor of testicular cancer and continues to work on behalf of men’s health awareness worldwide. Erich also dedicates his time fighting for funding for music education in public schools on behalf of the VH1 Save The Music organization.

A story to the testament to what is possible. Erich’s life and inspiring personal journey through show business, cancer, anxiety and the power of positive thinking in this heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny keynote.
