Lean Into Where You Are

Ben Barnes is one of Hollywood’s most varied and charismatic actors. Born in London, England, he began acting in musicals as a member of the National Youth Music Theatre. He later studied drama and English Literature at Kingston University.

Soon after graduating, Ben made his TV debut on the series Doctors, joined a West End production of The History Boys, and made his feature film debut in Stardust. He received a nomination for MTV Movie Award’s Best Breakthrough Male Performance for his role as Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. He reprised the role of Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Though he may be best known for his role as Logan Delos on HBO’s science fiction thriller Westworld, his work includes an array of diverse film and TV credits including By The Gun, Seventh Son, Big Wedding, History Channel’s Sons of Liberty, Marvel Netflix’s The Punisher, and BBC’s Gold Digger. Ben will star as the Darkling in the upcoming Netflix series Shadow and Bone, an adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s popular fantasy series.

“If you’re not happy and things aren’t working for you, you have to change something no matter how small.”

“The first thing I usually think about [preparing for an audition] is to look at the exact opposite of whatever is written… seeing the opposite helps to highlight what’s sitting on the surface.”

“The only reason you’ll ever really get cast in something is because you’re you… because of what you felt in the moment or what’s going on with you that managed to shine through the cloud.”

Do Good Work, The Rest Will Follow: Tales from a Limitless Artist

Rebecca Hall is a British Actor, Writer, Director, and Producer. She’s the daughter of stage director Peter Hall and opera singer Maria Ewing. As a child Rebecca broke into the entertainment world with a role on the TV mini-series The Camomile Lawn and the feature Don’t Leave Me This Way.

She subsequently took a ten-year departure from the screen, attended the University of Cambridge, and acted on stage before she appeared in Christopher Nolan’s thriller The Prestige and later starred in Woody Allen’s romantic comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona (for which she received a Golden Globe nomination).

Throughout her almost 30 year career, her brave and exquisite artistry has lead to multiple awards and critical recognition. Rebecca’s credits include The Red Riding Triology, The Town with Ben Affleck, BBC’s Parade’s End, Iron Man 3, Transcendence with Johnny Depp, The Awakening, Frost/Nixon, and The Gift opposite Jason Bateman. Her work in the critically acclaimed drama Christine is unforgettable as is her role in Tales from the Loop. Be sure to watch Rebecca in Godzilla vs. Kong which will be released late 2020.

“You can’t chase money… you’re not being inspired to be creative.”

“The key to being an actor is to make sure you remember live.”

“I don’t believe in making decisions about how I plan to behave when someone says action. I do believe in learning, internalizing physicality, voice, and everything so clearly that you turn up and are ready for it.”
