Ben Browder (born December 11, 1962) is an American film and television actor, who garnered minor feature film and television roles before accepting a lead role on the sci-fi TV series Farscape and later Stargate SG-1.

Early life

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Browder grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. Browder met his wife, actress Francesca Buller, while studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

Career

Browder appeared as a recurring guest on the U.S. television show, Party of Five as Sam Brody in its 3rd season in 1997. Browder and Buller moved with their two children to Australia during the production of Farscape (1999–2002), on which Browder starred as brash American astronaut John Crichton. Buller played several guest roles on the show. The two returned to the United States in 2003 following the cancellation of Farscape. He has received two Saturn Awards for Best Actor In A Television Role for his acting in Farscape. He appeared in the 2004 movie, A Killer Within, co-starring C. Thomas Howell and Sean Young. Also in 2004, he portrayed fellow actor Lee Majors in the made-for-TV film Behind the Camera: The Unauthorised Story of Charlie's Angels.

He returned to play John Crichton in the 2004 SciFi Channel mini-series, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. The mini-series wrapped up the remaining plotlines of Farscape, while leaving open the possibility of future adventures.

November 2004 marked the audiobook release of Interlopers, a novel written by Alan Dean Foster and narrated by Browder.

In January 2005, Browder voiced the character Bartholomew Aloysius "Bat" Lash in an episode of the animated series Justice League Unlimited entitled "The Once and Future Thing, Part 1: Weird Western Tales".

Browder returned to the SciFi Channel as he joined the cast of Stargate SG-1 for its 9th season in 2005. He plays the character of Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell, the team's new joint-commanding officer. Browder's former Farscape co-star Claudia Black appeared on SG-1 as well during the first episodes of the 9th season, and has now been signed on to once again co-star with Browder as a regular cast member on the series in its tenth season. Browder has preserved some of the character elements of his Farscape persona in his new role (such as making witty pop-culture references), a tip of the hat, perhaps, to Farscape fans who also watch Stargate SG-1, but Cameron Mitchell is a distinct character, an experienced, professional military officer.
