hey all your beautiful creative souls! We are all here because we love a certain area of the craft of film, TV or theater. We love being part of telling stories that inspire and uplift ourselves and others. I've been blessed to have been given some opportunities to share my skills as an actor and plan to continue to share my divine abilities with others. My own journey has been to learn that I need to stop making it about me and all about what I have to contribute. My journey as an actor is to awaken the power of my own soul and through doing this to inspire others to awaken the power of their souls, to inspire them to move through their fear and resistance and celebrate the joy of living from your soul's agenda! woohoo!! I plan to contribute in a much bigger way an actor playing both bad and good guys who are smart, strong, grounded, men of conviction with a character edge! I say Thank you to the divine for all of the amazing roles in indie films, blockbuster films and cable TV and theater that I have the honor to perform to the best of my abilities. I've also been an acting coach and marketing/branding coach for my fellow actors for almost 19 years, I teach a combination of the Ivana Chubbuck technique and my own. I love iinspiring other actors to be their best, You can see my approach as a teacher at www.masteryouraudition.com and you can see some of my acting work at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAn5hbTxe2Y and at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3IRO6nm00E I've also written and produced two successful short films and I'm currently working on completing my 3rd short film which I'd like to be done with within the next 2 months. I'm also working on completing 3 feature screenplays that I intend to make and star in as well. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with other Stage 32 members!I love that Stage 32 allows actors and filmmakers and producers, etc to come together and SUPPORT each other! Together we can create projects which are original, fresh, intense, dark, comic, edgy, quirky and miraculous expressions of the soul! May you all be blessed to regain complete faith in yourself as a divine being and regain complete faith in your amazing talents and abilities, all the best and blessings. Benson

I truly respect you and loved that,"Branding yourself as an Actor" thing you posted a few weeks ago. I printed out that page and will always look to that if I ever have an identity crisis as an actor.

I get to see new screenwriters' work--it is a pleasure! I have a new version to the Butch and Sundance on its way to me now (I love westerns) If you do? Check out the book, ALONG THE FORTUNE TRAIL, by Harvey Goodman which is a great read and the screenplay may be making the rounds. Trying to get westerns on the big screen is not so easy--as you know. Also, working on two Latina Scripts. Yes, that is the new hot wonder to be produced by Hollywood...Did you see the live production of WHO IS THE M'F'ER IN THE HAT? Jimmy Smits was great here in Chicago. Keep your fingers crossed, if these and more do get to be green lit-- YOU would be great in any of them.
hey there! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending you blessings for huge success in all areas of your life! love to work with you sometime all the best and blesings, Benson
