Eric Shaun Lynch (March 11, 1975 – September 20, 2014), once known as Eric the Midget and later Eric the Actor,[2] was a member of The Howard Stern Show's Wack Pack. Lynch was, at his peak, 3 ft 5 in (1.04 m) tall,[3] weighed 85 lb (39 kg), and had various health issues, including Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome.[4]

Lynch used a motorized wheelchair for mobility.[5] Despite his poor health, he claimed to have outlived every doctor's prediction for his life expectancy.[6]
