The biggest one came between 2009 and 2014 when he played Fred in the legal fantastic comedic drama “Drop Dead Diva”. Here, he played the role of Fred, the angel who was in charge of Deb (a plus-sized lawyer played by Brooke D’Orsay who went to heaven then found out she was not so bad and then pressed the return button to come back to earth); Fred was demoted to be Deb’s guardian angel and worked as a mail clerk in the firm to keep watch on her. He played this role in 38 episodes as a recurring member of the cast in seasons one and four, main cast member in season two and three, and a guest star in the sixth.
While on the set of “Drop Dead Diva”, Ben Feldman began acting “Mad Men”, a series produced by Lionsgate and aired on AMC. He joined the series in season five of the show as Michael Ginsberg a Jewish part-time copywriter who happens to be socially awkward – and a virgin to add to the hat. He was in this show till 2014 and was nominated for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series in 2012.
After “Drop Dead Diva” and “Mad Men”, he began, in the same year (2014), to play the role of Ron LaFlamme in HBO’s “Silicon Valley” (8 episodes), then NBC’s “A to Z” (13 episodes), and a voice role in “Big Hero 6: The Series” (come on, didn’t we just write about someone who was part of this show?).
In the film aspect, Ben Feldman has double-digit credits. He was in the comedy film “The Perfect Man” in 2005. This film is about how a daughter pretends to be her single mother’s admirer in other to make the mother happy. Feldman played the role of Adam Forrest, the classmate and admirer of the protagonist and daughter (of the single mother) played by Hillary Duff. In 2008, he was in “Cloverfield” a film that revolves around five young New Yorkers fleeing from a monster and various other smaller creatures that attack the city during their party. One of such five is a certain Mike Vogel.
Feldman was also in “Friday the 13th” (2009).
Wife
Ben Feldman is married to Michelle Mulitz the actress who is known for her roles in movies such “Sluts, Bitches, and Whores!” from 2012. He met her in 2002, fell in love with her in 2012, and proposed to her in 2012. The couple got married on October 12, 2013, at Smokey Glen Farm in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The couple is blessed with two kids. The first child was born in November 2017, a son they named Charlie Milton Feldman. “It sounds like a terrifying thing to me,” he told US Magazine when he was expecting the second baby. “Fortunately all of our friends with more than one kid are very honest and let us know that it is just a nightmare. … We have real friends who say, ‘One is one and two is a thousand.’ So we’re looking forward to that.”
The second child was born in May 2019.
Net worth
Ben Feldman is not just an actor and entertainer, he is also a business tycoon as he is co-owner of a wine label called Angelica Cellars. From what I think I know of wine label owners, they must be drowning with drunkenness or with money. Not Feldman. From what we hear of him, he is worth 1.5 million and that is not being drunk with money.
Ben Feldman is 5 feet 8 inches (or 1.73 meters).
