OVERVIEW______________________

DATE OF BIRTH February 6, 1974 in Boston, Massachusetts

BIOGRAPHY Benjamin Rook Towers III was born in Boston, to the same Benjamin Towers who was involved with the mafia and a prolific drug trafficker in the early 60's. He lived a childhood of luxury until his father's empire of crime and scheming came crashing down and he was forced to live with his far less affluent relatives. The remainder of his youth was spend immersing himself in his schooling, eventually accepting a seat at UCLA where he studied Film Studies in hopes of pursuing a career in film after graduation. Since making it out of school, he'd scored a few minor roles before some lead roles in several television shows which earned him moderate success and equally moderate fame. Following the series finale of Hawaii Five-0, he threw in the towel as far as acting in order to pursue a career as a producer.
