I’ve worked with Ben on Casualty where he cast a number of my episodes.  I also worked alongside him to cast four new cast members.  I love working with Ben – I love his passion, his integrity and his determination to find the best possible actors for the role. He is great at understanding and working with writers to realise their characters.  It is brilliant to find someone who respects and responds so effectively to a writer's part in the process. His casting eye is superb and his knowledge of actors is exhaustive. I also love that he is committed to helping people break into the industry rather than simply using “names” – he cast a number of young actors for me who were simply astonishing.  I look forward to working with him again soon and mining his fount of knowledge!
