Eric Martsolf was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania with a BA in Political Science with honors emphasizing in mass media politics and constitutional law. His time away from his studies was spent performing in unlimited capacities - choirs, operas, musicals, barbershop quartets and even a rock band, which was proclaimed Harrisburg's best new band! The last two decades of Eric's career is a true testament to his versatility as an actor; he has successfully completed over 1,500 theatrical performances and 3,500+ television episodes.
These profound performance numbers stem from his 4-year comic portrayal of the Pharaoh in Andrew Lloyd Webber's, Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, in which he consistently received acclaimed reviews from the harshest of nationwide critics, calling him a "mix of Elvis and Stallone - a blend of charisma, muscular framework and a talent to be reckoned with."
Eric is widely recognized for his six-year popular portrayal of Ethan Winthrop on NBC's daytime drama, "Passions," where he claimed numerous accolades from peers and fans alike.
His most memorable role came in 2008 when he joined the cast of NBC's daytime drama, "Days of our Lives," as Brady Black. In 2014, Eric made history by being the first actor on "Days of our Lives" to ever win the Daytime Emmy for Best Supporting Actor. He was nominated for the same award again in 2019.
Eric has served as a host for various experiences, including FOR DUMMIES: The Podcast, the highly popular "Legends in Concert (the longest-running show in Las Vegas) and for the 2019 "Welcome Home for the Holidays" show at the Lawrence Welk Resort in CA. Eric also portrayed Sam Carmichael in the 5-Star Theatricals' stage production of "Mamma Mia!"
Eric describes the birth of his professional career as "a choice he made in May 1993". The choice he refers to was whether to pursue his interests in the legal profession or the unpredictable world of entertainment.
His personal life has been even more rewarding than his professional one. He married dance choreographer, Lisa Kouchak, on October 10, 2003 and together they have fraternal twin sons, Chase and Mason.
