Eric Schuetz, born December 9th, 1976 in the small rural community of Falls City, NE. He grew up in a small "town" attending what would generally be viewed as a "country school" with a graduating class of 13 total students in his senior year. All through his youth, he had a desire to entertain. Putting on shows he would record onto cassette tapes imitating the popular character "Max Headroom". He would also act out "news segments" for his family reading articles, and the weather from the local news paper. His school did not offer much of a drama club, or theater/play experience, so his ability to embrace his creativity in acting was restricted. Upon graduation, he enlisted with the United States Marine Corps in the Infantry.
After his service, and years later with the advent of YouTube, Eric revisited his creative side by creating web videos discussing various topics throughout 2011 - 2013. Each video showcased his personality, but were not scripted and off the cuff. In 2013, with a friend at the time, he formed Notes and Nerds. A much more structured platform discussing nerd and musical topics and culture. During their first "season", they would perform small skits that were scripted and acted out. Throughout the course of Notes and Nerds, Eric used this as an opportunity to glean information and skills that he could focus more into the possibility of becoming an actor. He also used the opportunity to interviews actors, directors, and producers as a means to network with individuals within the industry.
From there, Eric has had the opportunities to perform as an extra, or a background actor. Eric also conducts many aspects of production with his video and podcast series, Notes and Nerds. With Notes and Nerds, Eric has learned skills in regards to videography, editing, scripting, marketing, and interviewing/acting.
