“No matter what the role, you just want to see more of him.”

Ben is a hardworking actor with integrity and professionalism. He is also supportive to those around him, making him an asset to any production.

– Brett Rickaby, Actor/Coach/Director/Producer

Ben is an amazing talent and I was so lucky to cast him. What’s great about Ben is he knows who he is and knows how to use it. On my film he never complained, always had high spirits and was up for whatever I threw at him. I could tell he is passionate about what he does and has no ego. Now knowing who he is, I will always keep an eye out for something for him in the future.

– Ry Higdon, Director

Working with Ben was a real pleasure. He could easily take direction and he excelled at portraying his character. Moreover, Ben brought a fantastic energy onto the set and worked well with everyone. He is open-minded and always willing to try new things; he has his own interpretation and vision of the character but is also very receptive to feedback and direction. As the lead in my film, Ben not only skillfully brought his character to life, he made it everything I wanted and more. Ben has a profile that will surely attract many directors: he is easy going and fun to work with, he is an extraordinary actor, and he is responsible and committed to the art of acting. In short, directing Ben was easy, fun, and rewarding; I am already looking forward to working with him again.

Ben came in to replace an actor who left in the middle of the run of a play of complex tone. The play teetered on the edge of farce and tragedy, and he it grasped immediately. He attacked the material with such energy and specificity, I came to believe, in our one day of rehearsal together, that Ben WAS the character he was playing. Truly an outstanding talent.

– Becca Wolff, Director

We had the pleasure of working with Ben as our viral campaign’s spokesmen. His professionalism was immediately noted and remained consistent throughout the shoot’s duration.
Ben’s flair for improv brought more to the role than could have been envisioned. While never leaving the script’s objective, Ben delivered each line with a new, refreshing take.
We found ourselves using only Ben’s improvised takes in the final cut, wishing we had given him a longer leash.
Ben is at the top of our list for leading roles, and will be until we can no longer afford him.
Ben maintains the rare screen presence that is sought after by every casting director in town. We look forward to capturing it again.

– Bryan Bahr, Producer

Ben Kliewer is the kind of actor who has natural comedic timing, and a great sense of dramatic beats. No matter what the role, you just want to see more of him.
