Dettenmaier made his filmmaking debut with the horror film Sin-Jin Smyth, which began filming in 2006 and had guitarist Billy Duffy (The Cult) set to do some guitar work.

Though often entrenched in charity work, he has been criticized as a hypocrite for balancing his charity work with his enthusiasm for climbing into a Mixed Martial Arts Cage (He trained in Hayastan Jiu-Jitsu/Judo/Sambo with legendary fight instructor Gokor Chivichyan, is a member of the Aikido Daiwa school under Shihan Jack Arnold, and schooled in kung fu with Sifu Todd Tai, who was once Jackie Chan's bodyguard.) In 2008, along with some professional fighters in the UFC, Ethan created a combat apparel line called Combat-In-Effect that sponsors professional fighters, fight schools and players in the NFL. The company also makes an effort to help military veterans and has since expanded into Soccer, Surf and Rugby.

In 2008/2009 with a former executive from The Weinsten Company, a partner from Interscope and producer Lota Hadley, he re-formed his production company into Arsenal Productions And Management first to move production forward and assist with the business and production affairs of some of his friends such as Sonny Landham (Predator, 48 Hours), Ultimate Fighter Keith Jardine, Kevin Gage (Heat, G.I. Jane) Dennis Storhoi (The 13th Warrior) Jouko Ahola (Invincible, Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven), Ricco Ross (Aliens), David Anthony Marshall (Another 48 Hours, Lock Up), Jacqueline Moore (WWE, TNA Wrestling), Jamie Dukes of the NFL Network and several others.

Erik

Mackenroth also appeared in the movie “Cloud Nine” with Burt Reynolds and National Lampoons Dirty Jokes the movie as a drunk.  He has also worked in commercials with Disney and Savin Photocopiers.  Mackenroth has had the opportunity to open for big name comedians such as Vic Dunlop, Dat Phan, Bill Kirchenbauer, Jimmie Walker, Todd Glass, and Joey Medina from the Latino Kings of Comedy, just to name a few. You can listen to Erik every Tuesday morning on his radio show, “The Downtown Lounge” on LA Talk Radio.

Personally, Mackenroth believes that comedy is comedy, meaning there should be no boundaries; as the point is to make people laugh.  He thinks that people should come to a show with an open mind and be ready to hear and see anything.  Comedy is sometimes subjective, but comedians are there for the love of the art of making people laugh.  Mackenroth loves what he does and aspires to do much more.
