Benjamin Hudson
Benjamin Hudson’s name probably rings a bell if you’ve caught any of the recent buzz in coming-of-age dramas and offbeat comedies. In “Camp Be Better” (2024), he dives into the chaos of a summer camp full of misfits—think late-night pranks, awkward friendships, and the kind of cringe-worthy moments you never really outgrow. He’s got this knack for wringing out both laughs and a weird amount of emotion from situations that could’ve just been cliché. The dude’s timing is sharp, and he knows how to play with vulnerability without ever getting too cheesy.
Flip over to “The Wilds” (2020), and you’ll spot him in a whole different light. This one leans into survival drama, with teens marooned on an island and forced to figure out who they can trust (which, let’s be real, is nobody). The stakes are way higher, and Hudson brings a grounded energy that makes the tension feel lived-in instead of just scripted. There’s this intensity in his performance that keeps your eyes glued, even when the plot twists get wild.
And don’t sleep on “Buzz Cut” (2021). It’s less about the haircuts and more about identity, rebellion, and growing up in a world that refuses to make sense. Hudson slips easily into the role of someone just trying to find his place—awkward, stubborn, a little lost, but totally relatable. Altogether, the guy’s filmography is shaping up to be a quirky, heartfelt ride through all the messy moments that make us human.
