About Ben:
Ben Curtis is an American actor who became known as the Dell Dude in a series of commercials for Dell Computers between 2000 and 2003. But then a series of events, that you’re about to learn about soon, led him down a windling path and to a quite dark place where the only way out was to reach out a hand and ask for help.
Today, Ben is a recovered addict, an experienced actor in recent shows like Orange is The New Black and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, he’s a musician with his own band Dirty Mae, but most importantly he’s a life coach on a mission to help - especially men - find self-love, courage, * compassion.
