Ben Hilzer is an actor and comedian whose career spans feature films, commercials, short films, sketch comedy, and improv. A diverse character actor, his highlighted feature film credits include the raunchy comedy "Army & Coop" as Scott, the foul mouthed best friend of the titular character, and the dark comedy "Rook." as Paul 'No Balls', the lackey sidekick to a mob boss. Short credits include the thriller "Clink. Shoot." as Oscar, a degenerate, impulsive gambler, and the holiday comedy "Milk 'N Cookies" as Mike, a devout Christian who unwittingly pushes his ideals onto his friends.
Ben has written and produced numerous projects as part of Letterpress Films whose milestone work is "Ben & Gary: Streaming": a comedy special about two entrepreneurs who pitch a new streaming platform to an investor, but the streaming platform exclusively contains low-budget parodies of blockbuster films where they play every role. His characters and impressions from the special include George Costanza from "Seinfeld", Maverick from "Top Gun", Harry from "Home Alone", Mickey in "Rocky", and a nosy janitor.
Ben is a member of the comedy troupe "The Dads" who produced a 90-minute original live comedy show called "Daddy Road" billed as "SNL With No Money." They have a residency at the Chaos Bloom Theater where they perform a regular show in Denver, CO in which they write new material every month.
Ben has trained and performed at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and under Walton Jones: writer and director of Broadway's, "1940's Radio Hour."
