Ben Whitehair Q&A

BEN WHITEHAIR RETURNS for a great discussion!

I am thrilled to welcome Ben back to the show—we did this Q&A as part of the October virtual workshops.

Among other things, we talked about:

  • How he responded to the pandemic, both personally and professionally
  • Trends he’s seeing in the industry and with social media
  • What SAG-AFTRA is doing to help actors get back to work, and more!

As you’ll hear, Ben is BUSY, so I’m deeply grateful he found some time to squeeze this chat between all his other virtual meetings, self-tapes, and work!
