Ben Milam was 12 when he was cast as school bully Marcus Emerich in Addison's Wall. It was a very physical role, and his favorite scene was the fight outside the school where he learned stage fighting techniques from the stunt coordinators. Ben's most difficult scene was attacking Addison in the library because the camera was very close and it didn't give him much room to move. Ben's character was a very disturbed kid, and bringing out this dark and violent person was a big challenge for him.
Ben has since played Jesse James in a Turkey Creek Production for on-camera technique, as well starring in an Adidas commercial. In his Drama class, he performed in The Attack of the Grasshopper and Rehearsal for Murder where he played supporting male lead. Ben is a freshman at Prairie High in Vancouver, Washington. In his spare time, he is a movie aficionado, an assistant baseball coach and enjoys playing the drums.
