Ben Cox

Ben Cox is a bold and physically-driven actor whose passion for performance began with a fascination for transformation. As a child, he was captivated by how actors could disappear into wildly different roles from one film to the next—completely reinventing themselves with each performance. That early curiosity deepened through his involvement in improvisational dance, theatre, and drama and improv organizations, where he discovered a lasting love for character creation and embodiment. These formative experiences taught him that acting isn’t just about playing a role—it’s about fully inhabiting another human being, both physically and emotionally. 

“When I believe in a project, I will do everything to commit to bringing that story and character to life,” Ben says. “Because to me, there is no greater pleasure than getting to play someone other than myself.” 

Known for his intense physicality, emotional depth, and willingness to take creative risks, Ben brings a raw energy and clear conviction to every role. Whether executing fight choreography, handling stunts, or navigating intimate, character-driven moments, he is fearless in his approach and fully committed to the process. His background in dance, stage combat, and improvisation gives him a distinct edge in roles that demand both physical stamina and versatility. 

Ben trained at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre, where he developed a solid foundation in movement, ensemble performance, and expressive physical storytelling. This training continues to inform his work on both stage and screen, lending fluidity, control, and precision to every performance. 

His on-camera experience includes a variety of independent films and student productions, where he has collaborated with emerging directors and creatives to help bring bold stories to life. These early projects have allowed Ben to hone his craft in dynamic environments, building a reputation for focus, adaptability, and immersive character work. 

In addition to acting, Ben offers a range of specialized performance skills, including contemporary dance, stunt performance, fight choreography, and improvisation—making him especially suited for roles that require athleticism, intensity, or fast-thinking responsiveness. 

Now focused on expanding his repertoire and stepping into more complex material, Ben continues to pursue projects that challenge boundaries and embrace transformation. With a strong foundation in physical storytelling and a passion for exploring the full range of human experience, he brings a powerful and dynamic presence to every performance.
