Eric Manchester

Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Contributors -- Round 1
From the Rutles Mockumentary, "All You Need is Cash," we learn that many of the great promotional ideas came from the mind of their press officer, Eric Manchester (Michael Palin). This included the “The Rutles Are Coming," and the "Barry Is Also Dead" campaign. He is a renaissance man of sorts as he also was a journalist, writer, and record producer.

Actor/Actress: Michael Palin
Position Portrayed: Press Officer
Why you should vote:: He was the press officer for one of the greatest bands ever.
