Ben Schnetzer
- Actor
Ben Schnetzer was born on February 8 1990 in New York, to actors
Stephen Schnetzer and
Nancy Snyder. He began acting in
his teens, appearing in the TV drama 'Happy Town' but, in his own words
wanted to give acting "a proper shot" and moved to London in 2010 to
study drama at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Graduating
three years later he went almost immediately into film work and in
three movies released in Britain in 2014 showed his total versatility
and superb mastery of accents, as a German Jewish fugitive in 'The Book
Thief', a snobbish Anglo-Greek student in 'The Riot Club' and committed
Northern Irish gay activist Mark Ashton in 'Pride'.
