TribeHollywood 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
“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
("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
(“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
