About Me
My name is Benjamin Beespear (AKA Gary Bland), I am a driven, funny, and gutsy guy. If you can imagine Gandhi mixed with Benny Hill, you've got me.
I became a professional actor and singer aged 51, after a career in the corporate world. My wife of some 40 years, heard me sing for the first time in March 2012. I believe my previous work experience has had a major benefit to my acting and singing.
Please see the attached Pre Acting CV in the media section of my profile.
