Ben Cura

Speaks English, French, Spanish and Italian.
Trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
Born in Argentina to his mother of Italian and Spanish descent and his father of Italian, Spanish and Lebanese descent. Raised in Italy, France, the US, Spain and the UK.
Some of the places his rootless childhood took him to were Buenos Aires, Argentina (where he was born), Cerro Veronese, Verona, Italy (where his family moved when he was barely 19 months old), Louveciennes, Paris, France (his family moved there when he was 6 years old), Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, US (during which time he was home-schooled), Madrid, Spain (when he was 11 years old until he graduated from French high school) and London, UK.
Although born in Argentina, he only lived there for roughly 19 months. He holds several citizenships to some of the countries he lived in thereafter.

[on creative freedom on set] Freedom isn't easy. Freedom is set within a bunch of parameters, and is achieved when respect for time and confines is given. It's achieved when preparation is over and playing begins. And it only really occurs during very brief moments on set, usually only when the camera is rolling. And even then, freedom is about precision, and precision is about limitations -- and the trick is to know what the limitations of a moment, shot, scene, shoot, script are, and to feel free within those confines.
[on Creditors] People need faith. Whether it be faith in themselves, another person, religion, or whichever other story they've picked out or created for themselves in order to make sense of the world. We cannot live alone, and yet we are alone by default. Alone in a chaotic, confusing, brutal world. But a beautiful one nonetheless.
[on Creditors] Words can encapsulate powerful, and crippling, concepts, which are then passed on through the ages without us even noticing.
