Transformed by God's Love

Ben Dane

Our special guest today is the multi-talented Hollywood actor, producer, and director Benjamin Dane.  Ben is not only “lighting up” the screens and airwaves with his charisma, stellar “acting chops, and creative vision, but he’s also allowing God’s light to shine through him…like a candle in the darkness…as he shares the love, forgiveness and peace of God with colleagues in the industry and anyone he meets.

Ben is a native Texan, born and raised in the Houston area.  He grew up with an intense love for art and design and graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Dallas.  It was in Dallas where he started acting with community theater groups such as Cornerstone and the Dallas Children’s Theater and was one of the first cast members for “The Promise,” a lavish production depicting the life, death and resurrection of Christ. After appearing in numerous  productions, the stage ignited a desire for film and broadcast roles.  He made a dynamic first impression with small roles in two highly anticipated projects filmed in Texas…Oliver Stone’s “JFK” and the Emmy-Award winning “Killing in a Small Town” for CBS. These small roles led to leading roles in various Independent projects, several of which won awards at film festivals.  Benjamin also gained recognition with starring roles in television for ABC Family, the Discovery Channel and TBN.  Currently, Ben is starring in the newly released Independent film, “First Lady” with “Matlock” star, Nancy Stafford, Corbin Bernsen from “L.A. Law,” and Stacey Dash. The film is a Modern Fairytale and a classic romantic comedy with the backdrop of Presidential Politics and Royal Charm.  Back in 2013, Ben was an Executive Producer and actor in the film, “Beyond the Farthest Star,” a story about a broken family and how God transformed their lives. Ben could definitely relate to this story line because off screen, he had experienced his own brokenness and life challenges.  In today’s segment called “Transformed by God’s Love,” Ben will share how the pain of his parent’s divorce, a near fatal car crash, and a life-changing sermon led him to re-dedicate his life to Christ and experience a total transformation of his heart, soul, mind and spirit that would cause him to have a passion and hunger for God like never before.
