Now Published: “The Stand-In Handbook” by Ben Hauck // Available for Download at Stand-In Central

This week I published the downloadable PDF ebook The Stand-In Handbook on Stand-In Central, a website that provides information and insight about the job of the television and film stand-in. I founded Stand-In Central and serve as its editor.

Welcome to the Brand New Ben Hauck online!

Over the past few months, I’ve been considering a total redesign of my website, Ben Hauck online. Here it is!

Since my focus is now exclusively on my acting career, I wanted to centralize my acting career on my website. I wanted to make it so that you could quickly and easily find out about my acting career and see some of my work. My other endeavors, like writing and general semantics, I’ve de-emphasized from this new version of the website. They are still here (or are in the process of being added), just less obvious. The only exception is the […]

Newly Published Work // Essay on “New” Alfred Korzybski Transcript

Just now coming out is a new essay of mine published in ETC: A Review of General Semantics, Volume 68, Number 2. The essay–titled “Introduction to ‘Difficulties in Learning to Apply General Semantics'”–is a companion piece to a transcript I edited of a recording of Alfred Korzybski from 1947. That transcript follows my introductory essay and had never before been published, essentially making for “new” Alfred Korzybski work over 61 years after his death.

You can download a copy of ETC 68:2 from the Institute of General Semantics website.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent // Episode 09011 // “Gods and Insects”

Today I played a Wall Street passerby and stood in for Jim True-Frost on Episode 09011 (“Gods and Insects”) of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

I also passed along to Jeff Goldblum’s assistant my recent essay titled “The Day Michael Jackson Died” from ETC: A Review of General Semantics. The essay covers the rumor about Jeff’s death which circulated on the same day Michael Jackson passed away.
