Few entertainers today are as accomplished or versatile as Ben Vereen. His legendary performances transcend time and have been woven into the fabric of this country’s artistic legacy. His first love and passion is and always will be the stage. “The theatre was my first training ground. It taught me discipline, dedication, and appreciation of hard work and values that will stay with me a lifetime. The stage sharpens the creative instrument and encourages you to go deeper inside and try new things,” states Ben.
On Broadway, Ben Vereen has starred in Wicked, Fosse, I’m Not Rappaport, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pippin, Grind, Jelly’s Last Jam, and A Christmas Carol. His role in Pippin earned him the prestigious Tony Award and the Drama Desk Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Ben just wrapped the Chuck Lorre series B Positive on CBS and appeared in multiple episodes of The Good Fight, playing Frederick Douglas, also on CBS. He’s also appeared in Magnum P.I. and Bull for CBS, numerous episodes of Star for Fox, and the BET Series Tales. Ben co-starred with Richard Gere in Time Out of Mind and Chris Rock in Top Five and was featured as Dr. Scott in the re-imagined The Rocky Horror Picture Show for 20th Century Fox. Bryan Cranston picked Ben to co-star in Sneaky Pete for Amazon. Before Broadway reopened, Ben appeared in the national commercial to bring back NYC and Broadway “It’s Showtime in NYC.”
