Scene
Ext: Somewhere off the Bourbeuse River

When Ben first came in to read, it was pretty obvious to us that he was going to wind up in the cast.  And that he would be Glen or Gary.  He just looked the part.  But after spending 8 weekends with the cast for Summer, I can tell you this:  If the end of the world comes, I’m going to Ben’s house.

We have quite a few rugged looking outdoorsy types in the cast. Ben’s character is a office-dweller, ultra suburbanite, and he plays it to a tee.  When you see Ben on film, you’ll probably figure that he’s pretty much just like his character.

You’d be wrong…

Behind the scenes, Ben is soft spoken, polite, funny, well read and the quintessential outdoors man.  He hunts, fishes, canoes etc.  The definition of Renaissance Man.  He has a habit of lobbing joke grenades. You can tell alot about him just by seeing his printed copy of the script.  Carefully tabbed with green markers, to indicate every scene he has lines and the green tabs match the green plastic spine that keeps it in it’s protective sleeve.  It’s  impossible to not like Ben.
