And he has talked about "enjoying" working out and that he goes to the gym. I would love to know what type of workout he does because he is in fabulous shape and he isn't, you know 25.
He's in awesome shape! Although I wouldn't say he's been in bad shape in the past... it looks like he's definitely been spending extra time there.

For the shirtless scenes! DUh... :wink:

speaking of fitness, that reminds me I need to prep for my fitness test tomorrow - jump on the treadmill - I can in-line skate for kms but a 1km run scares me!

He isn't super bulky - I'm guessing that he isn't doing super sets/reps/heavy weights when doing his weight routine. I wonder if he actually does yoga/pilates (with Laura or etc.) or what type of cardio he does.

He has a great body. Oh. yes. And definitely, he's been spending more time at the gym.
Two days ago I watched the "The Hunger" scene (the one with the kinky sex scene) on YT. It was filmed in 2001 or 2003, I'm not sure, but he already had a great body at that time.

He has clearly always been fit, but it seems to me like his shoulders are a bit broader in season 3 than in past seasons. No he isn't bulky, he is very much lean. I'm sure he is working out pretty heavily leading up to starting to film season 4. Those are exactly the kinds of things I'd love to know: Cardio vs. weights, running, etc. In that scene in epi 3 x02 where he walks into the bedroom as Andy wakes up, the pants they have him in are pretty low so you can see all kinds of fitness.

A couple days ago, I re-watched some scenes of episode 1x01 and particularly the scene in the locker room, when he is undressing. I found him very slim. And then I re-watched episode 1x07. I saw a major difference of morphology, above all on his shoulders and biceps. I don't if it's the gym and the fitness, but i find that he is more bent.
I read somewhere that he practises the scuba diving and he shares it with Laura. I don't know if it's true.
If he is on twitter tomorrow, please tell him "bonjour" from me. And here in France, he has a big fan of Rookie Blue. Thanks

I think the first episode is filmed months before the others because it's the pilot that gets pitched to the companies.

What Natasha said... but also my guess is that - being the serious actor Ben is, he would have slimmed down to play Sammy in pilot episode 1.01 to reflect his character being undercover for the last 8 months. I can't imagine druggies going to the gym. As season 1 progresses and in season 2, you can see that Ben/Sam gets back to his normal fit/active self since Sam is back in uniform.

:D

Is it true that Ben Bass speaks fluently french?

I also wondered if he spoke French fluently. Also, in his misc Bios on the Internet, there is never any mention of his family. I'm always curious about an actor's upbringing & if they have any siblings, etc. Just something I noticed.... Though, I am sure as shy as Ben claims to be, he prefers his private life to remain just that....darn it.

Directly from Ben:
-Not a vegetarian (IMDB is wrong... He had a laugh about that because he gets that question a lot!)
-Still ok with his French

Does anyone know if Ben smokes? Curious as he mentioned cigars a couple of times (but not sure if this is just a really occasional thing???) Also in another interview I read the interviewer asks him if it is weird not to have a cigarette to fiddle with when playing Sam (does that mean he has smoked in a lot of other roles he played? I have to admit I haven't seen him in anything else yet).

That fiddling question was mine. (she asked for fan questions) The reason I asked was because his cop character in Would Be Kings smoked, and Ben has used chomping on gum instead to show aggravation. So at the time I sort of wondered if gum was some sort of substitute for smoking in terms of conveying stress or anger.

I really don't know if I should post in this thread (or start a new one), but I just received this google alert.
See this:

Seems that they're promoting this demo.

makes sense, I mean they have a pretty long off season between the RB shooting season so the cast can take on other projects.

I completely forgot about his "but thanks for playing" comment in season 1. Still cracks me up!

Thanks do much for posting the new demo reel link. It's fantastic! I Can't help but love that they including "the scene." also the drug related clip.. Is that from Would be kings? I've seem Would be Kings but I don't remember if its from that. I think it's a great wife array of clips, moments of his work. Lots to choose from.. That's for sure.

Yes, these scenes are really representative of his acting skills.
Love the Would be kings and the Flashpoint ones.
And, off course, the "were you scared" scene. He was super sexy in that one - all smiles and dimples.
