Ben Mather Profile

I’ve been acting since the age of seven, beginning my training with Captive Audience and Derby Youth Theatre before studying Acting and Musical Theatre at Nottingham College. I have experience in both screen and stage performance, bringing a grounded and realistic style to my work while still being confident in comedic roles thanks to my theatre background.

Over the past four years, I’ve performed with Derby Youth Musical Theatre, playing Gordon Shakespeare in Nativity! The Musical and Monsieur André in The Phantom of the Opera, as well as appearing in Crazy for You and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Nativity! received an Eagle Award nomination for Best Youth Production.

I’m a confident singer with a baritone/tenor range and have training in ballet, tap, jazz and contemporary dance. On set and on stage, I bring commitment, adaptability and a positive attitude, always aiming to make others feel comfortable (with the help of a few terrible dad jokes).
