IMDbPro caught up with Ben Milliken to hear his advice for aspiring actors, what he loves most about directing, and more! 4 of 6
IMDbPro: Do you have any mentors? How did you meet them and what have they taught you?
Ben Milliken: My mentor in acting is my friend and coach Tom Draper. I met him when I first moved to LA. He taught me one of the most important things I have learned in this business when we first met. It was "always make it about the work." Honing your craft is the most important thing. It's also the thing you have most control over. There's never "nothing to do" and you can always be working on being better and learning more.
