An interview I did recently with Daniel Pearson just went live on doddleNEWS. Titled “Ben Hauck: Stand-Out Memories Of Standing In,” it covers not only my work as a stand-in and Stand-In Central, but also my work as an actor and author.

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.
Co-authored with Sara DeRosa, The Stand-In Handbook culls articles from the Stand-In Central website into a portable document for easy study the night before a big stand-in gig. With over 34 chapters in 127 pages, there is no more complete resource on standing in than The Stand-In Handbook!
This afternoon I performed a scene from David Mamet’s The Woods with Mandy May Cheetham for a teacher training workshop at The Barrow Group. The class was led by Seth Barrish.
This afternoon I participated in an NYU in-class directing workshop as an actor for directing student Jonathan Zhang. The professor was Joan Horvath.
