About the Job

YOUNG BEN - Supporting (Shoots approx 4 days) Caucasian Male. Age 10. Ben is a sweet, sensitive, and thoughtful child with a gentle emotional life. He feels deeply but expresses himself quietly, absorbing the moods and tensions around him with natural intuition. He is not dramatic or attention-seeking—his emotions surface in small silences, pauses, and fleeting expressions. In moments with David, especially when speaking about his father, brief flashes of sadness emerge without Ben fully understanding why. His vulnerability is subtle and unguarded, shaped by feeling rather than language. This role requires a child actor capable of stillness, emotional openness, and natural innocence—a child whose quiet sensitivity immediately invites protection.
