Ben Foster

Ben Foster, the acclaimed actor turned director, was born on October 29, 1980 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He stepped behind the camera in 2018 to direct and co-write "Galveston," a crime drama, marking his directorial debut in a genre in which he has primarily acted, including in highly-praised films like "Hell or High Water" and "3:10 to Yuma". Though he has yet to receive major directing accolades, his intense, gritty performances as an actor have earned him several award nominations, and his directorial style echoes these qualities, often focusing on complex, morally ambiguous characters and raw, emotionally impactful narratives. An undeniable talent, Foster's dedication to his craft, whether in front of or behind the camera, is both evident and inspiring, as he continues to carve out a unique place for himself in the cinematic landscape.
