Cartoonist and humorous illustrator Tom Richmond’s MAD blog features a caricature of Benjamin, inspired by a photo from an old entertainment magazine.
Benjamin Bratt was honored for his performance in a Drama Multi-Episode Storyline (“The Cleaner”) category of the 2009 Prism Awards.
Presented by the nonprofit Entertainment Industries Council, the Prisms praise productions that advance public awareness of substance abuse and mental-health issues.
The 12th Annual Prism Awards were presented on Thursday, April 2009, at the Beverly Hills Hotel. FX will air the ceremony on September 26 as part of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.
“The People Speak” – the documentary based on the live performances of Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove’s Voices of a People’s History of the United States and that sees the involvement of Benjamin Brat as well as of other talented and well-know performers – has been picked up by The History Channel so that it can air on television.
I’d like to remind everyone to check the Bringing History to Live | Voices of a People’s History of the United States website for more information about the project and the calendar of events connected to it.
Benjamin and his wife, Talisa, are celebrating their 7th wedding anniversary on Monday (April 13). I’d like to wish them all the best .
The San Francisco Chronicle pop culture critic, Peter Hartlaub, mentioned Bound by Honor/Blood In Blood Out in his list of the best and worst gang movies (the article was prompted by the release of “Crips and Bloods: Made in America”).

Best gang film no one has heard of ( 
, Editor’s Note)
“Bound by Honor” (1993): Filmed in part inside San Quentin, this story of three young relatives in an East Los Angeles street gang was at least as good as “Colors” but never got its due. Also known as “Blood In Blood Out,” the movie was directed by Taylor Hackford and starred a young Benjamin Bratt as a street hood who later becomes a cop and must deal with his less-honorable family members.
Runners-up: “South Central” and “Mi Vida Loca”

As it was with mixed feelings that I reached the end of the San Francisco Chronicle article (with its praise for Blood In Blood Out and its pointing it out that it was not a success, audience-wise), I thought that this post should wrap up on a light-hearted note. So, I’m sharing a recent blog entry from All Women’s Talk about Benjamin, though it is totally unrelated to the previous article.
