Ben Adler

Ben Adler’s got a hand in some seriously stylish cinema. He pops up in Coach (2015), which is one of those indie gems you probably missed unless you’re the kind of person who actually goes to film festivals. It’s got a weird, low-key charm—think awkward silences, offbeat humor, and a coach who’s about as inspirational as a soggy sandwich. But hey, there’s heart under all the oddball moments, and Ben’s character brings this subtle, relatable energy to the whole mess. Then there’s Asteroid City (2023). Now, if you’ve seen a Wes Anderson flick, you know the drill—wild costumes, pastel colors everywhere, and characters who speak like they’re reading poetry while waiting for a bus. Ben fits right into that universe, bouncing around this desert town full of quirky scientists, grieving parents, and star-gazing kids. There’s a cosmic event, some mid-century nostalgia, and honestly, you’ll probably leave with more questions than answers. But isn’t that the fun of it? Don’t forget The French Dispatch (2021), another Wes Anderson fever dream. This one’s a love letter to journalism, all doused in Anderson's signature style. Ben’s in the thick of witty banter, bizarre stories, and a newsroom that makes you want to buy a typewriter and grow a mustache. The whole thing is a collage of oddball tales, and Ben’s presence—while maybe not the loudest—adds to that perfectly orchestrated chaos. Basically, if you’re into movies that don’t play by the rules, Ben Adler’s filmography is worth a spin.
