SAG-AFTRA
Ben has been working on all sides of the camera for over 15 years and performing on stage since he was a child.
On camera, his claim to fame is having two costar credits, one for which he was hand-picked by Kevin Bacon himself. On stage, he most recently performed for a sold-out audience as understudy for Brody in Arrowhead, written by Catya McMullen and produced by IAMA Theatre Company in LA. On set, Ben has built a reputation of navigating physical production with ease, forging strong relationships with all departments, and making sure nothing gets missed in the madness. In prep and post, Ben has a proven track record of keeping massive projects on target from the early stages of development and prep through the final moments of delivery, localization, and marketing.
With over two decades of experience and training as an artist, designer, and leader, he still finds ways to make the work feel fresh and continues to fall in love with his various crafts.
Outside of work, Ben is a well-rounded athlete and a low-profile nerd who loves Shakespeare. He dreams of someday playing Hamlet and running the Boston Marathon. Probably not at the same time, but you never know. He enjoys cooking, cruising to good music, immersing himself in nature, and musing over how to make the world a better place.
Based in Los Angeles and New York City, Ben is currently seeking representation.

Social Responsibility
“It is important to take responsibility in some way, big or small, for the betterment of our global community. I’ve always felt that if I’m not actively thinking about or researching what I can do to improve something, then I’m not doing my part as a fellow human being in this world. I strive to push myself out of my comfort zone – to learn more about what makes me different from other people and what unites us.
I hope you’ll do the same.”
