Trained at LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) (2001) Won Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "All my Sons". British actor Ben Daniels has had roles in numerous film, television and repertory theater productions. He portrayed Tony in Hettie Macdonald's award winning film Beautiful Thing, Leopold in Daisy Meyer's Madeline, Ben in John Madden's Truth or Dare, DJ Bob in Michael Winterbottom's I Want You and Norman Cubit in the BBC's television production of the "Inspector Alleyn Mysteries," also directed by Winterbottom. Daniels' breakthrough in television came as Roger Massi in "A Touch of Frost." He has portrayed Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet," Robin in the controversial "Lost Language of Cranes" and Alex in the award winning series "Outside Edge" - he turned down the follow-up series in order to play Augustin in Passion in the Desert. A graduate of a three-year drama course at LAMDA, Daniels' early theater credits include productions with many of Britain's leading repertory companies at Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Leicester. In 1991 Daniels played Richard Loeb, the younger of the two Chicago "thrill killers" who murdered a nine-year-old boy in John Logan's factual play "Never the Sinner" at London's Playhouse theater. His performance earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in that year's Olivier Awards and triggered offers of more work on the London stage. As a result of his portrayal of Lucky in Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith in 1994, he was cast as Tiger in David Beaird's "900 Oneonta," at The Old Vic. His performance earned a Best Actor nomination in that year's Evening Standard Awards. Most recently Ben has been starring opposite Juliette Binoche in Jonathan Kent's acclaimed production of "Naked" at London's Almeida Theatre. hide

A tender love story set during a hot summer on a South-East London housing estate. Jamie, a relatively unpopular lad who bunks off school to avoid football, lives next door to Ste, a more popular athletic lad but who is frequently beaten up by his father and older brother. Such an episode of violence brings Jamie and Ste together: Sandra (Jamie's mum) offers refugee to Ste, who has to 'top-and-tail' with Jamie. Hence, the story tells of their growing attraction for one another, from initial lingering glances to their irrefutable love, which so magnificently illustrated at the end of the film. In deals with the tribulations of coming to terms with their sexuality and of others finding out, in light of Sandra's unwavering loyalty and defence of Jamie and the fear of repercussion should Ste's family find out. The plot is set against sub-texts of Sandra's desire to manage her own pub, and thus escape the estate, and of her new relationship with her hippy boyfriend Tony; and of Leah, the brassy girl next door who has been expelled from school and spends her time listening to Mama Cass records and tripping on a variety of drugs.
