11: Sam Benjamin - Expanding Into America The "Why Not" Way

This week I am pleased to bring you a chat with our second industry guest - the incredibly ambitious and inspiring, Sam Benjamin! Sam is an actor, screenwriter and director known for his roles in Doctor Who, BBC's The War of the Worlds and I Am Vengeance: Retaliation now on Netflix. He's originally from the land of the Beatles in Merseyside, though he describes himself as more of a Prince guy! He's just wrapped on the feature film The Pay Day starring Kyla Frye and Simon Callow, which he co-wrote. He's currently in Los Angeles where he is pitching a number of projects and meeting for some exciting acting roles.

We chatted all about making the transition "across the pond", the attitude that has propelled him this far, as well as his vision for a stable and successful transatlantic career. Plus, hear his answer to Olivia D'Lima's guest request for an anecdote of one of his worst commercial auditions to date - I have no doubt it will make yours seem like it was a dream casting...
