About Eric Schweig
A prolific Canadian actor of German and Inuit decent, Eric Schweig has excelled on screen since his feature debut in the 1990 drama The Shaman’s Source. A notable key player in such subsequent features in the 1990s as The Last of the Mohicans, Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale and The Scarlet Letter, he won the Grand Jury Award at the 2000 L/A Outfest for his performance as a quiet and unassuming general store owner who unexpectedly falls for a New York artist in the independent drama Big Eden, which earned almost unanimous critical praise. He also starred in Ron Howard’s The Missing, Cowboys and Indians: The J.J. Harper Story, Into The West, Shania: A Life in Eight Albums, Indian Summer: The Oka Crisis, Cashing In, Casino Jack, and the Emmy award winning Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. He can currently be seen in the Gemini award winning television series Blackstone and will soon be appearing in the feature film Maïna.
Schweig was adopted shortly after his birth in the summer of 1967 by a German family living in the Western Arctic, in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Although he would spend much of his youth living in Bermuda with his adopted family, the clan eventually returned to Canada to settle in Northern Ontario. Striking out on his own at the age of 16, Schweig made a living by framing houses before a role in a 1987 Ontario stage production of The Cradle Will Fall sparked an interest in acting.
In addition to his acting career, Schweig has also gained a solid reputation as an artist, which began with his friendship with acclaimed West Coast carver, Vern Etzerza. Schweig’s carved masks now sell around the world.
