Well, thank goodness, he is finally getting his moment. I shall be forever grateful to the writers of the LO:CI (I think it is) for casting him as William Hinks and then giving him some extra time eps because they liked him so much. Sounds like he inspired the writers to take that storyline a little farther than planned. Much like "Lost" seems to have done, hmmm.

It is a sad fact of life, not just acting, that too often the unworthy advance while some truly talented people struggle. But sometimes, one of them breaks through.

I think he more than other actors needs good writing to really bring what out he has. I can't imagine where "Lost" would be without the Ben we know. Surely, there would have been one but not being this Ben, they might have taken the show in an entirely different direction. I am so convinced they do things just to get him on screen sometimes. Not that I'm complaining.
