Artist
At 6’2”, with striking features and a ripped physique, Benjamin Elliott looks like he could have stepped out of the pages of a men’s fashion magazine. And in fact, the Hamburg, NY, native gave modeling a try in Manhattan as a means to support his true passion: acting. “I love the idea of becoming someone else,” he says. “I admire guys like Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. They don’t worry about looking pretty onscreen. Leo DiCaprio never holds back, he’s totally raw. And Johnny Depp is just badass. He has the ability to disappear and become someone else entirely.” Ben has studied acting at the Irish Classical Theatre in Buffalo, NY, where he learned an introduction to the Meisner Technique. “It really showed me how to get in touch with my emotions to flesh out a character,” Ben says. “It was an amazing experience and I’m looking forward to more in Hollywood.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
