Benjamin Wilbanks

About me:

.. Hi. I'm Benjamin Wilbanks I have worked in all areas of production. As an actor I can be seen in Leap of Faith, Boy’s Don’t Cry, Walker, Texas Ranger and the CBS Movie Still Holding On: The Legend of Cadillac Jack. My most prolific period was with the outdoor musical production, The Promise, in which I performed on stage over 830 times. This production took me across the United States, to Russia and South Korea. In 2004 I ended my tenure with The Promise with the title of Production & Operations Manager for the original Glen Rose stage.

In early 2005 I wrote, directed and edited the documentary film project A Journey To Iraq, which took me to the middle east for a first hand look on the lives of Christians and changes in their lives since the removal of Saddam Hussein.

I have also worked in television on numerous shows for FOX, CBS, ESPN, PAX, Discover and TLC channels. Other films I have worked on are Bloodlines, Bit Parts and Young Producers, and the made for TV films Still Holding On for CBS and A House Divided for ABC.

The above information was so clinical, so technical, so professional. I thought I'd write one more paragraph about me, from me, by me that should feel like I'm sitting right across from you. In fact, why aren't we sitting right across from each other? I'd much rather have this talk face to face.

Ok, then. Two paragraphs. I enjoy meeting people who are doing things. Going places. I love watching people when they don't know it. I really enjoy watching children learn things for the first time! I find little things fascinating, like the sound of words, and the feeling of cool air against my skin after a long hot shower. I insist that the people around me are steeped in intellectual sincerity - if you're not, you'd better learn to be QUICK. If you find that I don't like you, it's probably because I have little tolorance for blather and jabberwokky. Not that I don't mind some frovility, but really...Why live your life as a dullard?

It's important to me to know that you seek adventure, and not just for adventure's sake. No. Doing that is like hitting yourself in the head with a frying pan because you like the feeling. It's like taking drugs, or getting drunk - two things I do NOT to, and will not tolorate in my life, or around me. To be my friend you had better be real about what you want, why you want it, and have a plan on how to get it. Otherwise, I'll challenge your thinking, and if you resist....then you will have lost an awesome friend. Who, you ask? ME!

Finally, the last paragraph: Challenge my thinking. Be an intellectual - not a psuedo-intellectual (aka: emotionally based), and be able to critically analyze a situation, take critism, give advice, and continue to grow. Basically, be the way God MEANT for you to be, and not the way you think the world, or anyone else WANTS you to be, and we'll be fine. And now the paragraphs end.
