Im happy for Ben that he is getting these awards and recognition. I met him when I first came to LA, before he was really anybody. He was dressed as a policeman, sitting in a cops car, having a blast. His enjoyment is very contagious.

At least it looked like him, sounded like him, and he said it was him.
