During my time as manager of Actors Platform Ben came & ran several workshops for us over the years. His workshops were always extremely popular with the actors who participated, and they would walk out the door energised & proud. That's because Ben cares about actors, he is generous & giving, positive and energetic not to mention articulate & witty. His advice was concise, helpful and honest. In such a precarious profession it's a joy to see someone like Ben work with actors - he clearly loves being a casting director & and admires & respects actors.
