Could Graham Phillips Play Prince Eric in the Live Action 'Little Mermaid' Movie? Here's What He Said

Graham Phillips is going to be using his performance as Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid Live! for an audition for the live action movie.

Speaking to ET, the 26-year-old actor shared that tonight’s live musical event would be the perfect audition for him.

“I know, I’m sort of seeing this as my audition for the movie role,” he shared with a laugh. “So, we’ll see how it goes.”

So far, no actor has been announced as playing the royal in the upcoming movie, although both Christian Navarro and Gavin Leatherwood have auditioned for the part.

As far as the live event for Graham, there’s only on thing that he’s really nervous about – his hair!

“I mean, it’s tough ’cause he’s royalty, so he’s got to have the coif,” he says. “But he’s also a sailor, he’s the nautical prince, so it’s a really tough balance to make. Thankfully, we’ve got a good team, but it takes a long time.”

The Little Mermaid Live! airs TONIGHT, November 5th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
