Ben Feldman

Ben Feldman, also known as Jonah Simms in the hit NBC series Superstore, has been slowly but surely carving a name for himself in the showbiz world. An actor who started as an off-Broadway sensation is now enjoying the spotlight, and we can understand why.

Feldman was born in Washington D.C. on May 27, 1980. A self-proclaimed “casually Jewish” person, he grew up in a Reform Jewish household, where arts and culture were encouraged. Feldman had a passion for acting even as a child, starring in his school’s theater productions. He went on to attend the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater. Feldman then joined the Broadway scene, getting his break in the musical The Graduate in 2004. He was also part of numerous off-Broadway productions such as Frankenstein, with his performances consistently earning him glowing reviews.

Aside from his success in theater, Feldman has also made his mark in the film and television industry. He appeared in a few indie films such as Perfect Man and When Do We Eat? He landed his first major television role in 2009, playing Fred Figglehorn’s dad in the Nickelodeon series Fred. But it was his portrayal of Michael Ginsberg in the Mad Men series that put him on the map. His performance as the erratic and creative copywriter earned him critical acclaim, and fans couldn’t help but love him.

In 2015, Feldman joined the cast of the NBC sitcom Superstore, featuring an ensemble of quirky and lovable characters working in a giant chain store. His character, Jonah Simms, was initially conceived as the straight man to the series’ zanier cast, but he slowly evolved into a fan-favorite character. His relatable and charming portrayal of Jonah has captured the hearts of many viewers, making him a household name.

But Feldman is not only an actor, but he’s also involved in various creative endeavors. He has produced and directed the short film The Nearest Human Being in 2016. He’s also part of the band Sweet Creature, where he’s a keyboardist and backing vocalist. They released an album in 2019 with all the songs written by Feldman himself. Feldman is also a husband and father, with two children with his wife Michelle Mulitz.

What makes Ben Feldman stand out is his versatility as an actor. He can seamlessly transition from drama to comedy, from theater to television, and even to music. His range as an artist makes him a valuable addition to any project he takes on. But more than his talent, it’s his humility and down-to-earth personality that makes fans adore him even more. In interviews and on social media, he exudes a relatable and approachable vibe, making fans feel like they could be friends with him.

In a world where celebrities are often put on a pedestal, Feldman reminds us that they are only human too. His passion for acting and the arts, combined with his genuine personality, makes him a talented and likable person that audiences will continue to admire. We can’t wait to see what more he has in store for us in the future.
