Ben Foster, who received a Screen Actors Guild Award for his role on Six Feet Under, has already established himself as one of the industry's most promising and accomplished talents, having appeared in numerous film and television projects with some of Hollywood's most respected actors and directors.

Ben has landed leading roles in two movies that will showcase his versatility as an actor. On April 16, 2004 audiences everywhere saw Foster starring alongside John Travolta in Artisan Entertainment/Marvel Studios' The Punisher, based on the Marvel Comics hero Frank Castle.
