1) Do you get recognized a lot? 
 Ben : It's really weird , all of a sudden people look at you differently, and end up doing 'double takes'. It's been very gradual, so you get to deal with it in small amounts.

2) What steps do I have to take to follow my dream of becoming a great actor?
Ben: Firstly never give up, it's a very hard industry, but if you want to do it you just have to take the plunge and give it your all. Make sure you get an agent, and just start at the bottom and work up, do as many acting classes as you can, and then it's just a waiting game. Don't let people get you down.

3) What sort of dancing do you do ? Are you like Scott in real life and do you have any siblings?
Ben :  I do Break Dancing and Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk Tap and Musical Theatre. I am not really like 'Scott' in real life, although I can be pretty cheeky. I have one younger sister she is 15.

4) What is it like to play a very hyperactive character?
Ben :  It's very hard to play a hyperactive character all the time, I try my best, but I end up collapsing at the end of the day.

5) Where do you go to school and how did your exams go?Ben :  I go to Carey Grammar, it's a good school. My Exams are done, and I have gotton back two now, two A's.

6) If you could work in any other TV show with any actor what would it be?
Ben : It would have to be 'Friends' or 'Alias'. I love both of those shows. If I could work with any actor it would have to be Johnny Depp, He is cool.

7) What are you favourite films?
 Ben : My fav films are The Matrix, Pirates of the Carribean, Lord of the Rings 1,2 and 3 and Snatch.

8) Where do you live?
Ben : I live in Melbourne, it's great although I am originally from Adelaide.

From Ben's 2nd time as Actor of the week:

Meluallie: We have noticed you use the expression 'spigging' a lot in Neighbours. What does it mean?

Ben: Spiggin is a great word, I don't use it though but I have heard others say it. It can have multiple meanings, it's like a replacement swear word (say maybe the S word), I can't really say much more than that on the this site but I'm sure you get the gist of it.

Anju: What does 'cake taker' mean?

Ben: Cake taker is a replacement for a swear word, I can't say them on this site but along the lines of idiot or moran. Stingray is a character who would use lots of colourful language but this is Neighbours and the real words wouldn't be appropriate!

HiStreetHoney: If you could play another character in Neiighbours, who would it be?

Ben: I would probably play Harold or Dave, they are both great characters and legend actors.

Andy 1776: Last time you were Actor of the Week you said you got two A's in your exams and this time you've said your exams are going great. I guess you must be a clever guy! Do you plan to go to uni when you finish Year 12 next year or are you going to continue acting?

Ben: I'm only doing 3 subjects this year as I did a year 11 subject last year and to pass year 11 you only have to do 4. So my work load is a little lighter, which is just as well as I only get to school a couple hours a week. It helps that I really like the subjects that I do, media, history and english. I don't have any plans to go to uni, at this stage, I'm just trying to finish year 12 which I will do over 2 years, then I hope to keep acting, fingers crossed. Anyway, I think getting an education is important so hopefully I'll get through, one semester at a time!

Mr Puck: Like Scott I have a mental illness too, social anxiety disorder. I can relate to Scott's struggle to feel normal and I think it's great that a mental illness is being recognised because of his character...do you feel you have a responsibility to play the part well because of the ADHD issue? PS Do you miss Adelaide?

Ben: Thanks mate, I think the writers are doing a great job with Scott's ADHD, I do worry that I'm doing ok portraying someone with ADHD, any issues like this can be difficult for those who are involved, as you know. I think it's important for everyone to know that we are all different and not everyone's life is as smooth as others. What's normal anyway? I think we are all a little different in our own way. I hope your doing ok, good luck man. Yeah I miss Adelaide I have lots of friends there, it's a great place.

Faye: I read you are from Adelaide so did you move to Melbourne just to be in Neighbours? Did all your family move with you or do you live by yourself?

Ben: I moved to Melbourne 2 years ago (with my mum and sister Tash) to play the part of the Artful Dodger in Oliver! We then lived in Singapore for 2 months doing Oliver!. When we got back to Melbourne in May we decided to get an agent and stay in Melbourne till Christmas to see if my sister and I could get any acting work. I got a small part in "Scooter" in Sept and then the part of Stingray in October, so hey I'm glad we stayed, thanks mum ha ha.
