Eric Molson is the central antagonist of the 2012 comedy/action film 21 Jump Street and a cameo character in 22 Jump Street.
He is a drug dealer. He sold the HFS to students without getting caught. He is a popular student, and is good friends with Molly, Juario, and other students. He lives in a mansion, where Morton went to see him. Morton Schmidt acts as a fellow drug dealer, though gives it to be confiscated. Morton and Jenko then find out that they are dealing with the One Percenters, which turns into a fight against the One Percenters, who are surprised by undercover Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents. They identify the supplier, leading to a large shoot out against the drug dealers. Eric is arrested at the end of the movie.
Eric makes a cameo appearance in 22 Jump Street, when Jenko and Schmidt visit Mr. Walters in prison for assistance in identifying a drug dealer. When asked how he was doing by Jenko, Eric looks disheveled and depressed, begging them to “get me the fuck out of here”. Mr. Walters frequently referred to his relationship with Eric as him being Eric’s “bitch”. He then later teasingly calls Eric “honey”.
Personality[]
Eric presents as a self-aware, forward thinking eco-activist, against organized sports, and does not drive vehicles due to the carbon dioxide emissions. He is presumed to be highly intelligent, with good grades as he was “supposed to go to Berkeley”. Eric is very popular and persuasive and very socially adept, able to go seamlessly from what is considered “unpopular” (activism) to throwing / attending ragers. Eric is an only child, his parents are often neglectful, leaving him alone in their large home. He also works in the school yearbook office as an editor.
He is also a cunning, ruthless, possessive drug dealer, forcing Schmidt and Jenko to swallow the drugs, regardless of how it might affect them. When under pressure, Eric is easily overpowered and nervous, freaking out on Schmidt and Jenko when he suspected they were undercover police. Ironically his worst fear in going to prison (“it rhymes with grape!”) is assumed to come true in his cameo in 22 Jump Street.
