Ben Hauck Is Now a Member of SAG-AFTRA
Minutes ago, two of my acting unions–the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA)–merged to become one labor union–SAG-AFTRA. I am not a member of SAG-AFTRA.
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 […]
Under Reconstruction: Ben Hauck online
Commencing Tuesday, February 21st, 2012, and continuing until who-knows-when-exactly, I will be reconstructing Ben Hauck online to a fancier version of the site.
In the meantime, this will probably look a little like a mess. While I hope to be back up within a week, these things take time and we’ll just have to see.
Once I’m back live, I plan on updating my News Blog.
Thanks for visiting!
Cheers!

Photo Shoot with Dario Acosta
On November 15, 2011, I shot with photographer Dario Acosta as a runner for a project he’s working on. We were aiming for gritty runner shots and portraits. We did shots of me running in place, and we did shots of me in front of a background made up of old tile flooring.
The shots were incredible. Dario will be taking the running shots and superimposing them over gritty exterior shots to give the sense that I’m running outdoors. For now, below are some of the portraits from the shoot. I’m really pleased with them […]
