Ben Foster

Since first starring in Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights in 1999, Ben Foster has built a series of eclectic characters. He also won several awards, including sharing the SAG Award for Best Ensemble Cast for the 2003 season of Six Feet Under, and a Daytime Emmy for his lead performance in Showtime's Bang Bang You're Dead.

Foster recently co-starred in director Nick Cassavettes' Alpha Dog opposite Justin Timberlake and Emile Hirsch. The film made its debut at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

In films ranging from The Punisher to Northfork to The Laramie Project, Foster has played everything from the romantic lead to the sniveling coward, from the homicidal to the suicidal, from the hero to the villain. Additional credits include Hostage, and several episodes of the cult hit Freaks and Geeks as the mentally handicapped student Eli.
