BIOGRAPHY:

Eric Balfour's career in entertainment began at the age of fifteen when a talent scout cast him as a series regular on the hit dancing and singing show Kids Incorporated.

And he was most recently seen in films that include: Dimension's Hell Ride, and Mandate Film's The Horsemen opposite Dennis Quaid, and Lionsgate Film's The Spirit alongside Eva Mendes. In addition to his film career, Balfour was seen in the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Fox TV drama 24, reprising his season one role as "Milo", the smart and eccentric resident computer expert at the CTU.
