      He is in an Australian film called "The Big Steal" made in 1990. Its a comedy and he is a good guy in it.He plays a slightly awkward teenager in high school trying to win the affections of the beautiful, popular girl .
      In fact, he mainly played good guy roles until "Animal Kingdom" in 2010. That film got him noticed in Hollywood . But just before tht he had a rough patch where he couldnt get roles for some time. Its great to see him succeeding and getting more widely known now .

    Ben Mendelsohn played roles like Sean Penn (school days) did but on Australian TV and movies, he played the silly school boy, but in that movie there was a seen that I am sorry to say that most boys and maybe girls do - the scene was at a shopping center and Bens character is looking around saying "I would do her, she's alright, 8/10" the point to this, nothing but Ben is another great actor doing well in the big world.

    Fun little fact about Benny boy: He has a thing where, when he's on set, he's allowed to flip a table and break a heap of stuff in order to relieve whatever stress he has inside of him. True fact. The sad part is, the poor cleaners and best-boys have to clean up after him.
