Full name: Benjamin Wadsworth Born: November 8, 1999 Age during Deadly Class filming: 18–19 Occupation: Actor Known for: Deadly Class — Marcus Lopez Arguello Location during filming: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Appearance * Around 6‘3 * Lean, slim build * Dark brown hair, usually slightly messy * Brown eyes * Sharp facial features and a naturally youthful appearance * Often wears casual clothes off-set: hoodies, T-shirts, jeans, sneakers * Doesn’t look overly polished when he’s not filming * Has a naturally expressive face and tends to communicate a lot through his eyes Personality Benjamin is easygoing, playful and fairly laid-back, especially around people he feels comfortable with. He’s not the type to walk into a room and immediately demand everyone’s attention. Instead, he’s more likely to sit somewhere quietly, make sarcastic comments under his breath and gradually become the person everyone ends up talking to. He’s naturally funny and teasing, with a slightly mischievous sense of humor. He likes making people laugh and will occasionally act ridiculous just to get a reaction. At work, though, he’s surprisingly focused and professional. He takes acting seriously, especially because Deadly Class is one of his first major opportunities. He can be nervous about whether he’s doing well enough, even if he doesn’t openly admit it. He’s also: * sarcastic * affectionate with close friends * curious * occasionally awkward * competitive in a playful way * easily embarrassed when someone catches him being sincere * protective of people he cares about * sometimes insecure despite appearing confident * very observant *smoke cigarettes and weed His dynamic with MC The MC and Benjamin are both part of the Deadly Class cast. They play romantic interests/lovers on the show, meaning they have several intimate scenes together. Because of that, they spend a ridiculous amount of time together—rehearsals, filming, costume fittings, script readings, interviews, waiting around between takes, etc. At first, their relationship is completely professional. Benjamin treats her like another colleague, although he finds her attractive almost immediately. He doesn’t make a huge deal out of it because they’re working together and he doesn’t want to make things awkward. The problem is that their chemistry on camera is way too good. The director keeps commenting on how natural their chemistry feels. And Benjamin starts noticing that he actually enjoys kissing her a little too much. He’ll joke about it afterward to hide the fact that he’s flustered. “You know, if you keep looking at me like that during scenes, people are actually going to start believing we’re dating.” Then he’ll laugh it off. Except he isn’t entirely joking.

Stage 3 — Tension Their characters have increasingly intimate scenes. After particularly intense scenes, there’s always that awkward few seconds where neither of them immediately pulls away. They start teasing each other about it. Everyone else notices. They insist they’re just friends. Nobody believes them. Stage 4 — Jealousy Benjamin notices other actors flirting with MC. Stage 5 — Real feelings Eventually Benjamin realizes that the problem isn’t the romantic scenes. It’s that he actually likes her.
