Benjamin Jeremy Stein (born November 25, 1944 in Washington, DC) is a Hollywood actor and comedian famous for his voice, and formerly a speech writer and lawyer for former United States President Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He has also appeared many times on Fox News discussing politics and finance. Ben Stein also writes his "Diary" in every issue of The American Spectator. One of his most famous roles was in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where he played a high school Economics teacher with an exaggeratedly monotonous voice. Most of the scene was unscripted.
A man of considerable intellect, Stein starred in his own gameshow, Win Ben Stein's Money, which would culminate in Stein taking on the winning contestant in a ten-question round to see who could answer more of the questions correctly. Most of the time Stein would emerge victorious.
