- Ben Rubin is a South African born Chicagoan who spent his childhood dreaming of being a filmmaker like his Academy Award winning cousin, writer/director Barry Levinson (Rainman and The Natural), while observing on the set of Levinson's Avalon and Tin Men. Also as a youth, Rubin was wooing the crowds as an actor with his female impression of the Beastie Boys' song 'Girls' and Shell Silverstein's poem 'US'. He later went on to attend The George Washington University and majored in journalism and radio/TV, while he interned at 'The George Michael Sports Machine' and 'Entertainment Tonight'. He would also lead the comedy troupe at college and was soon bound for Hollywood, just days after college graduation. In his past three years in the film business, Rubin has worked with acclaimed directors F. Gary Gray and Barry Levinson as well as screenwriter, Naomi Foner and at the William Morris Agency. He has just completed his first screenplay with 'Shaun Rosenberg' called I.M. Gold, actor, and co-writing, co-directing and co-producing partner of Rubin on Pleading the Fifth: Philip Baldwin (2001). Rubin is a year away from completing his Masters in Business Administration (M.B.A.) from The Peter F. Drucker School of Business at The Claremont Colleges in Claremont, CA. Rubin's creative mentors are John Hughes, Woody Allen, Harold Ramis, Steve Martin, Mel Brooks and Cameron Crowe.- IMDb Mini Biography By: rubinben@hotmail.com
