Jeremiah Benjamin
Jeremiah Benjamin’s the kind of actor who bounces from project to project like he’s allergic to boredom. Seriously, look at his resume—he’s done the rounds in Los Angeles, though he’s got that New England edge in his bones. One minute, he’s sweating it out in a black box theater, the next he’s swinging a sword and spouting Shakespeare, and then—bam—he’s mugging for the camera in some trippy music video. If you’ve ever caught a commercial and thought, “Wasn’t that guy just playing a ghost in an indie film?”—yeah, probably him.
He’s not just about memorizing lines, either. Jeremiah gets his hands dirty with playwright workshops, tossing ideas around with writers in L.A. and up in Portland, Oregon. He’ll workshop a script till it’s bleeding, always looking for that weird twist or raw emotion to latch onto. Web series, TV guest spots, weird little internet projects—he’s done ‘em all, no joke. You get the sense he’s chasing the rush, not the fame. He’s got this restless energy that makes him slip into roles like they’re second skins, whether he’s on a set that smells like stale coffee or in some fancy theater where everyone’s pretending to be fancy.
If there’s a common thread, it’s that Jeremiah’s always up for something a little offbeat. He’s the dude you call when you don’t want safe or boring. Whether it’s a two-minute spot or a gritty stage monologue, you’ll catch a flicker of something real.
