Re: Ben Cook
Here's a new trailer for the HBO film "PATERNO". Again we see just a few glimpses of Ben throughout. It looks pretty intense! The film premieres April 7 on HBO, a day before "Mean Girls" formal opening on April 8. That will be quite a week for Ben!

Re: Ben Cook
A huge congratulations to Ben, who has been cast to play Riff in the 2020 Broadway revival of West Side Story! This stage production is completely separate from the upcoming Speilberg movie. Other BETM connections include: Daniel Oreskes as Doc, and Corey Snide in the ensemble. Congrats to all!

Russ Tamblyn, who played the original Riff in the 1961 film of "West Side Story," visited Ben on the set of the current production.

Re: Ben Cook
Sad news. Ben has left West Side Story due to an injury. Wishing Ben a speedy recovery and best of luck in whatever comes along next.
