Actor
Ken Baumann started acting at the age of 11 in New York and Texas. He moved to L.A. at age 14 and almost immediately landed a role as one of the leads in a pilot for Fox alongside Alan Ruck and Kristen Johnson, penned by famed playwright Nicky Silver. Most recently, Ken shot the independent feature "Spring Break '83" with a cast that includes Jamie Kennedy and Joe Pantoliano.

Ken was born in Urbana, Illinois, and grew up in Abilene, Texas, where his family still owns and operates a miniature-horse ranch and wildlife rescue. Ken is inspired by the work of Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Camus, Michael Haneke, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Francis Bacon, James Brown, and Erich Fromm. He also loves writing, photography, music, and improv comedy.

Character
Ben is dating Amy Juergens, hopelessly in love with her, willing to marry her ... and all of 15. He's a romantic at heart -- maybe it has something to do with the fact that his mom passed away when he was younger. He's also pretty well-off, being the son of the Sausage King, Leo Boykewich. (Does that make him the Sausage Prince?) When he's not doting on Amy, he's usually hanging with his two best pals, Alice and Henry. Ben's super-supportive of Amy and willing to help her in her time of need ... if only she'd let him. But will his love of romance lead him to take their relationship too far?
