Brock Benson: Actor Brock Benson was hit by a car while legally entering a Broadway crosswalk, and the work he missed in the days after the accident made making his January rent a precarious proposition. So as the inaugural recipient of Denver Actors Fund, we gave Brock the $240 he needed to make his rent. After his accident, Brock somehow managed to still appear in Ashton Entertainment’s “The Seafarer” at the The Dairy Center for the Arts, his fourth play of 2013 for various companies around the state.
Note: At the Denver Actors Fund, anonymity of aid recipients is presumed and fully protected, unless and until the recipient chooses to have his or her story told.
