When he didn't like a film, he was honest; when he did, he was effusive - capturing the unique power of the movie to take us somewhere magical."

Ben Mankiewicz hails from a famous film-making family, but that didn't make him a shoo-in as one of Turner Classic Movies' two hosts.

The channel's weekend-afternoon guide also appears often in short pieces between the feature attractions daily -- visiting iconic Hollywood sites or locations where legendary movies were filmed, among other activities -- and he's enjoying his steadily increasing TCM presence. By no means was he sure at the start, though, that he would land the coveted job.

"I had worked in local news, and I didn't want to anymore," Mankiewicz explains to Zap2it. "I auditioned for what seemed like a thousand shows, and I did the TCM audition and thought, 'I know I did well, but I know I won't get it, because it's the greatest thing I've ever auditioned for.' And as it turned out, I found the one place where they liked that my last name was Mankiewicz.
