Benjamin Burdick
Benjamin’s acting began in rural Idaho, most often telling tall tales to police to get out of scrapes. Due to the miracle of affirmative action, he was accepted to Yale University in order to fill their need for a farm kid. It was there his real acting life began- most often telling tall tales to professors to get more time for papers. He was also a proud member of the improv group, The Viola Question.
