Benny Fine

One of the first emerging talents to utilize the power of YouTube, Benny Fine and his younger brother Rafi attracted millions of subscribers with their "React" series before moving into traditional media with comedy show "Six Degrees of Everything" (TruTV, 2015) and feature film "F*** the Prom" (2017). Born in Brooklyn, NY, Fine first began making videos with his sibling at high school, but after their 2000 first full-length feature film failed to ignite their careers, the pair decided to focus their attention online instead. The pair began uploading their own comedy sketches, including a 100-episode miniseries filmed entirely with action figures entitled "G.I. Joe: The Epic Saga," to their own site in 2004, and three years later created their own TheFineBros YouTube channel where they built on their early following with popular series such as "Spoilers" and "Lost: What Will Happen Next." Following a brief stint with multi-network channel Maker Studios, the duo struck gold with "Kids React," a "Kids Say the Darndest Things" (CBS, 1998-2000) style series which filmed a group of youngsters reacting to various pop culture videos such as the "Harlem Shake." Its viral success allowed Fine to finally leave his job at Disney World and concentrate on The Fine Bros.' output full-time. The duo eventually expanded their reaction shots premise to include Teens, Elders, YouTubers, Adults, and even Cats, resulting in a Special Daytime Emmy Award for Best Video Viral Series, while "MyMusic" (2012-14), a mockumentary set in the world of a music production company, and a second season judging stint on "Internet Icon" (2012-13) further boosted their profile. In 2014, they crossed over to television with "React to That" (Nickelodeon, 2014-15), an adaptation of their popular "React" web series presented by Nick Cannon, and a year later served as hosts of "Six Degrees of Everything" (TruTV, 2015), a mix of comedy sketches, vox pops and reality segments based on the Six Degrees of Separation theory. In 2016, the pair suffered a backlash from the online community after attempting to trademark both their "React" series, and the term 'react' itself during the announcement of a new channel, React World. The overwhelmingly negative response eventually inspired the brothers to abandon their plans and instead concentrate on producing web sitcom "Sing It!" (2016-) a satire of a televised talent contest, and directing "F*** the Prom" (2017), a big screen film about two teens conspiring to bring down the most important social date on the high school calendar.
