A short film I am in has turned up on IMDB:

"Shoo Fly"

I'm "Hopkins the Butler "@ "SAFETY GEEKS:SVI"

“Benton Jennings was a principle in our pilot presentation and he is one of the funniest and most professional actors we have ever worked with in the entire process. When it goes, he is onboard for the long run.” ~ Dave and Tom of comedy series "Safety Geeks:SVI" (FKA - "Is It Safe?" )

2 recent films showed at Cannes:

"How Henri Came To Stay" (opp RIck Warden, "Rome", "Band of Brothers") in 2007 ,

"San Saba" (opp Angus Macfayden) in 2008.

("Taking Sides") “Powerful, thought-provoking & disturbing.All the actors are first-rate but Benton Jennings is the standout - possibly the best theatrical performance I've seen all year. Benton is an endlessly versatile performer. I've seen him bring down the house doing sketch comedy & break an audience's heart with his wrenching dramatic role in "Taking Sides" as a German conductor accused of collaborating with the Nazis during World War II. I'm beginning to think there's not much he can't do. He's a great, great actor."
- Frank Thompson; author, screenwriter, producer

(“Death and the Maiden”) “Benton Jennings’ portrayal of Dr. Miranda was outstanding, intelligently shifting the character in-and-out of the shadows, between the terrified and confused victim and the evil doctor – deftly keeping the audience guessing...” ~ Margie R, Goldstar

“If you saw Benton Jennings in TAKING SIDES, you saw an amazing performance. Those of us there on Saturday evening were absolutely blown away. What a major theatrical treat! There were other wonderful performances as well, but Benton was incredible.”
- Joan Messinger, Talent Agent, AEF

("Taking Sides") “...gut-wrenching performances by an extraordinary cast... Benton Jennings gives a multi-layered portrayal of the great conductor, 1st appearing as a dignified and proud figure, and at the end, in a tremendously moving speech, has a complete emotional breakdown of his character in a stunning, unforgettable performance.”
~ Beth Temkin, reviewer

(“An American Carol”) “...a "Kumbaya"-singing Adolf Hitler (Benton Jennings) send-up are highlights...” ~ Gary Goldstein, LA Times

("Taking Sides") “Benton Jennings was fantastic, as was the play and the rest of the cast. It deserves a much wider audience and a much longer run...hopefully, it will happen! We were blown away.”
-- Michael Andreas, composer, & Julie Fleischer, producer

(“Death and the Maiden”) “...Benton Jennings bravely and capably taking on one of the ugliest characters in modern theater history...a very talented cast...” ~ Mary Burkin, reviewer

(“Taking Sides”) “Every time I see Benton Jennings perform, I am more in awe. Not only do I admire his acting skills, his interpretations are thoughtful and thought provoking.”
-- Alison Mize, Casting Director

(“Requiem for a Heavyweight”) “...The washed up boxer is ruled unfit for the ring by a stadium doctor (an excellent Benton Jennings)..”
--Amy Bowker, reviewer

(“HellCab”) “Benton Jennings shows tremendous range as he moves in and out of the cab, alternating among characters that are weird, threatening, buffoonish, or Middle America..”
--Jim Crogan, reviewer
