What Happened To Ben?


I am curious...what ever happened to the little boy who played Timmy? He is the key character for this movie, but according to his IMDB profile he has done nothing else. Plus there is no information at all about him. Does anyone have updates on what he has decided to do with his life? Is he in school? I am just curious for the simple fact that he did a hell of a job in this movie. I am wondering if maybe he unable to act in roles where he had to speak? Any info would be great. Thanks!

Maybe he's embarassed about how the film turned out now... I would be.

reply

OUCH...lol Just ouch. Leave the poor kid alone! It was worth it to me. I thought Ms. Tyler was enough reason to watch.

reply

Liv Tyler is enough for any movie

You know what? Ben Faulkner looks exactly like Thomas Sangster from Love Actually, bu that's impossible, right?

reply

Yeah, this movie's too old for him to be Thomas Sangster. I thought he favored the boy from 'First Kid,' myself...Brock Pierce, who played Luke.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

But Ben Faulkner isn't really autistic, is he?

This *beep* is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S

reply

I don't think so...I just don't think they'd actually be able to go with a genuine autistic boy. My nephew is autistic, and he's very hard to control when he wants his own way, so I can't even begin to think what would happen if he were starring in a movie! He may have been, but probably not.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

No he isnt I went to high school with he and he was a really cool guy.. We got along very. He told me that acting really wasnt something he wanted to do so he never did anymore films. But he did get alot of offers.

Ben was living in Baltimore still but I havent seen him around in a while. He was offered a spot in Indian in the Cupboard and Man of The House but he declined because he didnt want to work on anymore movies, he just wanted to go home to his mother. He still receives 500 royalty checks monthly and is a chain smoker. He wears dirty 1970s vintage clothes and chain smokes and drives a *beep* Toyota. He used to pee in cups and leave them around his bed room and stand up on the toilet to poop with no clothes on. When he drinks coffee he uses 13 creams and like twenty packets of sugar. His mother has a huge poster of silent fall on his bed room wall.. its pretty hilarious. I was his room mate and he wouldnt eat the food that our other room mate made with dumpster-diving food. He said he didnt want hepatitis from it. And he only drinks coca cola, if he gets pepsi he'll send it back. He was working at video americain for a while but last i heard i think hes living in florida or something.

kind of hard to follow that up...

A better update would be that he still wears dirty 70's clothing, but doesn't so much chain smoke. He drinks tons of coffee, strong and very very black. He's hilarious and nice and attending college.

ROFL!
