Just read the article.  Good work. Dean and the others sure did a great job with that game.

I bought the game 8-9 years ago.  Just cleaned out a closet, found the game, and played it again - great entertainment...excellent acting, good music and compelling story.

Mr. D. Erickson is a great actor and the one and only real “face” fot Gabriel Knight. He is the only thinkable person to play Gabriels role in a film.
I am glad Mr. Erickson is doing great, his life sure is colourful:D

The GK series is fantastico, I hope JJ will write more games.

I sure wish Dean was in a tv series about Gabriel Knight, a most interesting fellow.  I loved every minute of the game and he was wonderful in it.  A great character that should have been expounded upon.  I wish Dean all the best!

Great interview! I’m glad Mr. Erickson is doing well. He seems to have been a real good sport when he was involved with Gabriel Knight 2. Happy days!

What an extraordinarily fun coincidence; this interview. Someone at Just Adventure is running the Polls again (scroll down a bit and look in the left-hand column).

The current subject is:

“Which Actor for Gabriel Knight?”

And here is the premise:

“If there was a movie version of Sins of the Fathers, who should portray Gabriel Knight?”

Mr. Erickson is one of the choices...and I voted for him. Go give a little support to our point ‘n’ click pal Dean!

Gosh, it would be so much fun to see a movie version with Dean (and Joanna Takahashi as Grace Nakimura and Peter Lucas as Von Glower). I really enjoy seeing familiar faces again like this.

One of the best Full Motion Video Adventure games ever produced: Gabriel Knight 2!
