Hi,
I’m Ben and I have been involved in acting since I was ten and have always loved every minute of it.
I’m currently studying at the Lir Junior Academy of Acting in Trinity College, Dublin and have also undertaken a wide range of other courses to develop my skills.
I enjoy sport and play Gaelic Football with Duffry Rovers, the best team in Wexford! I am a keen member of Bunclody Tae Kwon Do Club and am going for my black tip shortly. I play guitar and trumpet.
I have undertaken many roles in films, pantomimes, musicals and most recently taking a lead role in a feature film Turing Thirteen (trailer just completed) and am about to commence in a lead role in a short movie called Seed.
