About Ben Stein

Ben Stein: The Multi-Talented Renaissance Man

Ben Stein is a man of many talents. He is an actor, writer, commentator, lawyer, teacher, and humorist. Born on November 25, 1944, in Washington, D.C., Stein grew up in a family of intellectuals. His father, Herbert Stein, was an economist who served as the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Richard Nixon.

Stein attended Columbia University, where he earned a degree in economics. He later attended Yale Law School, where he graduated as valedictorian of his class. After law school, Stein worked as a trial lawyer for the Federal Trade Commission and as a speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford.

In the 1980s, Stein became a household name as the host of the game show "Win Ben Stein's Money." He also appeared in movies such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Mask." Stein is also a prolific writer, having authored numerous books on finance, economics, and politics.

In recent years, Stein has become known for his conservative political commentary. He has written columns for publications such as The American Spectator and The Wall Street Journal, and has appeared as a commentator on Fox News and other news programs.

Despite his many accomplishments, Stein remains humble and down-to-earth. He is known for his dry wit and self-deprecating humor, and is beloved by fans for his quirky personality and unique perspective on life.
