Since I was a little girl, I have had a MASSIVE crush on this actor. He was the only reason why I would endure watching ‘Law and Order’ at such a young age. After his run on ‘Law and Order,’ I thought he would hit super stardom when he started appearing in big Hollywood films such as ‘Demolition Man,’ and ‘The River Wild.’ However, Benjamin Bratt’s biggest claim to fame (to this day) is that he was Julia Robert’s boyfriend for many years.
This unfortunately was all he was known for, and it became detrimental to his film career. It was 2001’s Pinero, that made me truly see how good of an actor Benjamin Bratt really is. His portrayal of the late poet/playwright was surprisingly well done, yet was hardly noticed by the general public.
Unfortunately, Ben almost committed career suicide when he took on the role as Halle Berry’s love interest in ‘Catwoman.’ He has appeared on mini series, failed television shows, but this year he has two high profile films coming out called ‘Trucker’ and Steven Soderbergh’s two part films,‘The Argentine’ and ‘Guerilla.’ (A director he worked with in ‘Traffic.’) Will this talented and sexy actor finally get his comeback?
