About Ben Mayer

My name is Benjamin Mayer (he/him)- but you can just call me Ben! I am an enthusiastic, energetic, and optimistic actor and producer based in the Des Moines, IA area. If there's one thing you need to know about me; it's that I am always eager and excited to work and learn from working on new productions. I am also quite the nerd, so I will jump at almost any opportunity to play characters in any on-camera or voice over production that is remotely fantastical and fictional. 

 

I have played lead roles in numerous stage plays, I've been cast in commercials for numerous companies through my agent at The Peak Agency, and have starred in several local projects over the past year (feature films, fan films, short films, animated films, etc.), many of which are set to be released in the next couple years. Not only that, but for the past few months I have been honored to assist multiple productions as a Producer! I have found my stride behind the camera and in front of the camera. These include Alien: Lost Transmission by Connor Botts and myself, Sub-Zero Terror by Tarrell Christie, Do Androids Dream by Scott Marczewski and myself, Bryce by Alyson O'Hara, amongst a few others. Several of those projects are set to release within 2025. I was intimately involved in those productions and have been fortunate to share my creative insights on those projects as well as organize those productions. These, along with the newer films I have starred in, will be added to my "Portfolio" page as they release.

If your production is in need of a youthful, friendly, and dynamic 25-year-old, then look no further! Contact me by email or reach out to my agent and hopefully we can work together in the near future!
