Ben has numerous skills befitting of a good Casting Director; he has the ability to quickly build a rapport with contributors, alongside excellent lateral thinking skills and was consequently often the person who I would turn to when I needed to find an actor at short notice.  During his time at the BBC, Ben always displayed a great deal of passion for Casting, he was a proud champion of diversity and exhibited a desire to nurture talent.  This was clearly demonstrated through frequently providing training in Drama schools and conducting workshops at Actor Centres on areas such as audition technique.
