Ben Probert

Born in Ascot, Berkshire, Ben Probert grew up alongside his two brothers and younger sister. He attended Charters School in Sunningdale from 1999 to 2004, focusing on Drama and Art. After school, he worked in catering while awaiting acceptance into an apprenticeship program. He later qualified as an electrician, earning a degree in Electrotechnical Technology. Despite pursuing a technical career, Ben's passion for filmmaking and acting remained strong. He attended acting workshops and co-founded Full House Productions with his brother, Josh Probert, and friend, Josh Reeve. Together, they wrote and produced two short films, numerous sketches, and a popular web series, which garnered media attention and landed them on the front page of the Bracknell News. In 2011, Ben was introduced to filmmaker Luke Tedder and was cast as Jason in the feature film For My Brother. This collaboration led to his lead role in Faux Pas later that year. In 2012, he produced and starred in the post-apocalyptic drama Toxicity, which was selected for the Cannes Short Film Corner. Around this time, he also joined L&A Pictures (later rebranded Landa Pictures) in a production capacity.
