Rumor has it he’s attached to a new Netflix series. Something about competitive baking and espionage. I know, it sounds bonkers. But with Smith? It will be art. He could read a phone book and make it suspenseful.
He also has a cameo in the next Marvel movie. I can’t tell you which one. But I heard he plays a very angry barista. Again with the coffee, see? It’s his thing. I love that for him.
Honestly, I can’t wait. Every time I see his name in the credits, I do a little cheer. My cat judges me. I don’t care.
A final thought (and a warning)
If you haven’t watched anything with Benjamin Smith yet, you’re missing out. He’s the secret ingredient that makes good shows great. He’s the sprinkle on the cupcake.
But be warned: once you start noticing him, you’ll see him everywhere. In everything. And you’ll be like, “Oh, that guy! I love that guy!” And you’ll be right. You do love him. We all do.
Now go binge his filmography. I’ll be here, re-watching Pancakes & Dinosaurs for the twelfth time. Don’t judge me. Or do. I’m too busy smiling.
