The Heart Behind the Actor
Remember those devastating fires in LA? Ben didn’t just tweet about them – he rolled up his sleeves and got to work. His Romance University Los Angeles t-shirt fundraiser wasn’t just another celebrity merch drop. It turned into a community movement that raised thousands of dollars for fire victims, showing exactly why the Hallmark community is something special.
Lights, Camera, YouTube!
If you’ve ever wanted a behind-the-scenes peek at what really goes down in the acting world, you need to check out Ben’s YouTube channel, The Professor’s Lounge. It’s where he breaks down everything from character development to those magical on-set moments that make Hallmark movies so special.
He answers our questions in this video!
Cruise Control to Christmas
Speaking of magical moments, Ben had us in stitches sharing stories from the Hallmark Christmas Cruise. And don’t even get us started on what happened during “The Santa Class” filming – let’s just say some behind-the-scenes moments are even better than what makes it to screen!
