In 1997, Eddie signed with Cherry Red label in the UK, releasing three CDs for Manchester United Football Club - The Greatest Soccer Album of All Time, Red Anthems and Football Crazy #3.

His first film break came when cast in Ghostrider (Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendes). He later landed the role of 'Bull' in Baz Luhrmann's epic Australia, alongside Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman.
