One of the first things Ben bought when he got some money was a pair of $800 black leather boots. (edit) Ben has volunteered with the Young Storytellers Program. (edit) Ben will appear in the 2007 Al Pacino thriller, 88 Minutes, with former The OC co-star Melinda Clarke. Ben will play Mike Stemp in the movie. (edit) Ben was one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive, 2006. He is found in the "Sexy at every age, Age 28." (edit) Ben crashed on a friend's floor for a year before he got his role on The O.C. (edit)

Benjamin: You don't ever want a woman to look that different from what you're going to wake up to in the morning, should that situation arise. (edit) Ben: (When discussing differences between Ryan Atwood and himself.) It's against type in the sense of my background, but it's with type in the sense that I am a loner who's new to this business and skeptical about a lot of it. (edit) Ben: (On his O.C. audition) I had sort of an F-you vibe... Everyone else had come to audition and kissed the asses of [producers] McG and Doug Liman--which they should in a sense, because they're so accomplished. But I just didn't. I went in and did my thing, and I don't know, I guess they liked it. (edit) Ben: (on graduating from the University of Virginia) I didn't really know what I wanted to do, so I thought I'd get a good education and do some acting at the same time. (edit) Ben: If you don't want female attention, a moustache is the way to go... they're not a fan. (edit)
