Ben Lewis is a multitalented actor, director and writer best known for his work in the seventh season of Arrow as William Clayton, his role in the hit cult classic film Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World as other Scott, which was released in 2010 and his role as Bobby Beckonridge in Degrassi: The Next Generation.
After several auditions, Lewis’s breakout role as Bobby Beckonridge cemented him as a teen heart throb on the popular teen drama, and showed his talent as an actor through his handling of several tough storylines about domestic violence. Then, in his second recognisable role in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Lewis was widely praised, and in Jeff Bayer’s The Storecard Review, Lewis was reported to steal every moment [he] was on screen. Lewis has since tweeted that his role in the film was a life changer.
Lewis achieved a few more recurring roles in other popular TV shows such as Designated Survivor and The Handmaids Tale, Lewis joined the DC Comics Superhero TV Show Arrow, and at his request as a LGBTQIA+ man, the character was specifically written to be gay- Lewis is not only openly gay but his social media, with over 80,000 followers across his main accounts, is full of references to the LGBTQIA+ community and he is very vocal about the hiring and representation of that community in films and TV.
More recently, Lewis has finished filming for the upcoming film The High Note, and during the recent COVID pandemic, Lewis joined Cameo to raise money for charities supporting those affected.
