   Ben's Networking
Film - Direction - Director
You start with short films, then you graduate to features, then you sell out and go for blockbusters. Then your work diminishes and you wonder why even Sharon Stone won't return your calls.
Theatre - Drama - Acting
Presently performing with Whiskey Rebellion at i.O. Chicago. I love the funny. I love the sad. I love the true.
Television - Journalism - Producer
Can journalism be considered journalism when it's broadcast at 4:30 a.m. and seen only by bartenders and meth addicts?

I am doing really well, thanks for asking. I do however, need some great dating advise. So, like you, I am seeking wisdom from Jason, and I am glad you have documented queries so that the rest of us may also be enlightened. Those clips are truly and inspiration to us all.

actually, ben, virgil married lou ferrigno 15 years ago. they travel the world together, making money and making memories.
i'd say, after 2 wizardcons...anyone that wanted an autograph would've gotten it by then. the rest of it is just avoiding an honest living.
