During this time, Benét headed into the studio to work on Earth, Wind & Fire's 30th anniversary CD. Benét caught the acting bug and landed a recurring role on WB's For Your Love before making his feature film debut in Mariah Carey's flashy showbiz drama Glitter in 2001. In 2005, the singer released his third album, Hurricane. Benét then returned home to Milwaukee, WI for the recording of Love & Life, which arrived in September 2008 and garnered two additional Grammy nominations.
