What eventually happened to the “Dell Dude”?
Benjamin Curtis played “Steven” in the “Dell Dude” ads from 2000 to 2003. In 2003, he was caught attempting to buy a small bag of marijuana. The case ended with Curtis’s record being cleared if he remained clean for the next 12 months. Nevertheless, Dell fired Curtis due to company policy. In 2004, he was hired to lead the marketing campaign for Gameznflix. In 2007, he was working as a waiter in N.Y.C. and is currently the leader singer of his band, SAMVARA.
