Meet Benny James White | Actor & Magician

We had the good fortune of connecting with Benny James White and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Benny James, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
For me, I always keep moving forward, even if it seems like I’m making no progress. Every moment in life is an opportunity to grow and learn. And, if something isn’t working the way I think it should, I redirect and try something different. If I had to sum it up in one sentence, it would be “Don’t Stop Trying”

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Honestly, being an actor and magician is challenging, but worth every moment. When I was a kid, I wanted to work in film and TV, but I had no idea how much work would be involved. It hasn’t been an easy road, but every step of this journey has been a chance to learn and grow. One of the greatest things that I have learned is to give yourself permission to fail. So often we are expected to be perfect, but it’s our imperfections that make us who we are as individuals. And, once we accept that for ourselves, we can accomplish anything.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Defiantly a trip to Old Tucson Studios. It’s a great western experience that truly is one of a kind.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My wife and daughter. Everything I do, I do to make myself the best I can be for them. They are my rock and my reason to keep moving forward.
