Ben Curtis is an American actor who became known for saying "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" in a series of television commercials advertising Dell computers between 2000 and 2003.
As part of a commercial advertising campaign, Curtis portrayed the character Steven.[1] The commercials would usually feature Steven informing someone of all the perks of owning a Dell. When the person was sold on the idea, Steven would close with the catchphrase "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" The campaign was a success and brought prominence to Dell and to Curtis.[2]
Curtis's tenure with Dell ended shortly after he was arrested and accused of buying a bag of marijuana in 2003. Dell terminated the role,. According to Curtis, he was blacklisted from the entertainment community, and it was difficult for him to find work.
In 2005, Curtis played the role of Christian in the Off-Broadway comedy Joy by John Fisher. The show ran at the Actors' Playhouse in Manhattan's West Village from August 14 to September 25.[3]
