Ben Curtis

Ben Curtis (Oscar) A native of Tennessee, Ben is thrilled to be a part of this Southern masterpiece, and as the son of an Episcopal minister he feels right at home stirring up trouble here in St. Clement's Church. Ben moved to NY on an Acting Scholarship to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. He has gone on to produce and star in Israel Horovitz's OBIE-Award winning The Indian Wants the Bronx in both NYC & Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since then he has played lead roles in numerous TV shows, award-winning films and theater. You may remember him best as "Steve, the Dell Dude" from Dell Computer's Record-Breaking Ad Campaign. When he's not acting, Ben teaches theater to inner-city kids, while also producing his first feature film. If that wasn't enough, he's the frontman for rockband-on-the-rise, SAMVARA, and is even developing his own one I-man show, "Dude, You're Going to Hell!" (www.BenCurtisEntertainment.com) Ben would like to "deeply & sincerely" thank Michael Cassara, Dan Wackerman, The Pecadillo Theater Co., Laura, my amazing friends/family and this awesome cast and crew. "SQUEE!"
