Eric Anthony Douglas (June 21, 1958 – July 6, 2004) was an American actor and stand-up comedian.[1][2] Douglas was the youngest son of actor Kirk Douglas and his second wife Anne Buydens. His half-brother was actor and producer Michael Douglas. Douglas pursued a career in show business but did not attain the same level of success as his father and siblings. His career was overshadowed by his numerous run-ins with the law and problems with alcohol and drugs.[3]
