Benjamin Bryant is an Emmy-nominated film, television, radio, and news/communications professional with more than 70 credits as writer, director, actor, producer, and himself. Co-host of the award-winning travel docuseries Journeys Beyond (2020) and investigative podcast The Brink with Benjamin Bryant's Intersections (2019), Bryant is also an accomplished voice actor, portraying troubled hotelier "Gregory Marshall" on the audio serial Forever and a Day (2020) since the show's first season, as well as a besotted Prince Nolan Nutcracker in the JLJ Media holiday special "The Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker Prince," and its follow-on series, "The Grown Up Adventures of the Tooth Fairy." In 2020, Bryant wrote and directed his first feature film, the psychological drama Station to Station (2021), and the sports mockumentary "Aidy Kane (Really Wants You to Love Him)." Previously, Bryant served as Senior Producer and Co-Executive Producer of the Daytime Emmy-winning (6x nominated) series Anacostia (2009).
Though Bryant's first experience on a feature film set was in the mid-1990s (as a background player in Ed Zwick's Courage Under Fire (1996)) he spent the first half of his career as an accomplished communications professional, including stints working in global public relations, crisis communications, and as in senior roles on high-profile government commissions, working groups, and task forces for the Pentagon and Barack Obama administration (including the Fort Hood Shooting Task Force and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell Working Group" that recommended and guided repeal of the controversial military policy). During that time he frequently appeared in the news as a spokesperson, subject matter expert, or guest contributor and served as a speech- and ghostwriter for senior corporate and government figures. The vast majority of his work in film, television, and digital media has come in since 2016, when Bryant first sought to balance the demands of his government and corporate work with various artistic endeavors. Both sides of Bryant's life came together for the Vietnam veteran tribute special "Welcome Home! Honoring Your Legacy," for which Bryant was nominated for a 2024 Capital Emmy by the NCCB chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Bryant's additional work includes work as writer, director, producer, and announcer of live and virtual benefits and cultural celebrations, featuring high-profile celebrities and politicians, often highlighting Bryant's military roots and African- and/or Asian- American heritage, including DNC AAPI Caucus Heritage Month Celebration (2021).
Bryant lives in the Washington, DC metro area, working most frequently in Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, and multiple cities throughout the world.
