Jack Benza grew up in New York on Long Island and graduated from Rutgers University in New Jersey with a degree in acting and writing. After college he moved to Manhattan where he bartended at night, studied acting during the day and tried writing scripts for TV and movies. His acting career took off when he relocated to Los Angeles and secured a SAG card by doing various independent films, commercials, and TV shows. His first speaking role was on Pam Anderson’s show “V.I.P.” as Benny the memorabilia dealer and he had a small part on The Rock’s movie “Rundown.”  He then created an “alter” personality or “character actor” who he calls a “brass New Yorker” and used this personality to audition and get hired for over thirty Reality/Dating/Game shows. He has won two new cars and over $60,000 in cash, five trips, and other prizes- and a few phone numbers to boot. He wrote this book so people who are stuck in their everyday lives can grab their fifteen minutes of fame. Benza currently lives and works in LA.
