About the Job
BEN - Supporting (Shoots approx 5 days). Caucasian Male. Age 20–26. Ben is a warm, steady presence with a gentle strength that puts others at ease. A young father, he is loving, reliable, and emotionally grounded, moving through life with calm attentiveness rather than overt expression. His emotional life is quiet and internal, carried in posture, listening, and restraint rather than dramatic outbursts. Beneath his stability lies a subtle, unresolved shadow—an inherited confusion tied to a past no one ever fully explained to him. Ben has grown up protecting others before fully understanding himself, and traces of unprocessed emotion surface in moments of stillness and reflection. This role requires an actor who can convey depth with minimal dialogue: tenderness, patience, and quiet protectiveness, alongside the understated weight of something unfinished. Emotional nuance, naturalism, and the ability to communicate inner life through silence are essential.
