Introduction

Robert Scott Wilson (born November 9, 1987) is an American model and actor. He is known for being the first male model of The Price Is Right. He is also known for portraying the role of Ben Weston on Days of Our Lives.

Early life

Wilson grew up in central Massachusetts, the towns of Uxbridge and Grafton. In 2006, he moved to New York after graduating from Grafton Memorial High School.

Career

Wilson appeared in episodes of the television series The Secret Life of the American Teenager and The Middle. He has guest-starred as Colin Kirk in Supah Ninjas and appeared in episodes of Entourage, Melissa and Joey, Greek, Suite Life On Deck and Make It or Break It. He appeared in music videos for Victoria Justice, Manika, Toni Braxton and David Guetta. He has appeared in the feature films Bride Wars, Surrogates, Friends with Benefits and The Social Network.

In August 2012, The Price Is Right began a search for their first permanent male model, and held an open call for auditions. Wilson emerged as one of three finalists after competing with 25 other candidates. He was then voted by viewers of the show to win the model search in September 2012. Wilson appeared on new episodes through the spring of 2014, and mentored candidates for his replacement in the fall of 2014 in the Web series "Male Model Search II".

In 2013, Wilson joined the cast of All My Children for The OnLine Network. His character, Pete Cortlandt, is the youngest son of Opal and Palmer Cortlandt and a 22-year-old Silicon Valley tech wiz.

He stands six feet (1.8 m) tall and has brown-hair, hazel eyes, and wears shoe size 11. He also modeled for several brands of underwear. He was formerly signed with Ford Models of Los Angeles. As of January 2014, he is signed with LA Models. Wilson currently dates LA based celebrity makeup artist Janelle Faretra, who is a fellow native of Massachusetts as well. The two currently reside in Los Angeles.

In April 2014, Days of Our Lives announced that Wilson had been hired as a recast for the role of Ben, previously portrayed by Justin Gaston. Wilson vacated the role in December 2015. In January 2016, it was announced that Wilson would reprise his role as Ben in March to facilitate the exit of his former co-star Kate Mansi who played Abigail Deveraux. Wilson concluded his run with the series on June 24, 2016. In July 2017, Wilson was cast in the Rob Malenfant directed thriller, The Girl Who Cried Wolf. Wilson once again returned to Days of Our Lives in September 2017 to help facilitate the return of Chandler Massey's Will Horton. In November 2017, Wilson was cast in the Jared Cohn directed independent film Relic opposite William Shatner.
