Since first starring in Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights in 1999, Ben Foster has built a series of eclectic characters.

Foster recently co-starred in director Nick Cassavettes' Alpha Dog opposite Justin Timberlake and Emile Hirsch. The film made its debut at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

Additional credits include Hostage, and several episodes of the cult hit Freaks and Geeks as the mentally handicapped student Eli.
