Connor Jessup

Canadian actor Connor Jessup is renowned for his role as conflicted teen Ben Mason on the tense sci-fi/action series "Falling Skies." Jessup's first substantial screen part came in 2008, when he joined the cast of the horse-oriented tween drama "The Saddle Club." After appearing on more than 25 episodes and even contributing to the show's writing, he moved on to a guest spot on the Canadian crime series "King." In 2011, he began his role as Ben, one of the young sons of widowed alien-battling survivor Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) on "Falling Skies," a part that gave him considerably broader exposure.
