Robert Scott Wilson

Massachusetts native Robert Scott Wilson initially found success in the modeling world, represented by Ford Models and, later, LA Models. His first professional acting job came in in 2009 when he was cast as a “Latino guy” in the film Bride Wars opposite Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. He also made appearances in music videos for Toni Braxton, Victoria Justice, Manika and David Guetta. After winning the first-ever male model contest search for The Price Is Right in 2012, he made a brief appearance as a Forrester employee on Bold and Beautiful in 2013, followed by the lead role of Pete Cortlandt on the short-lived Internet reboot of All My Children that same year. However, it was getting cast as Ben Weston, aka The Necktie Killer, on Days of Our Lives that truly put Wilson on the daytime map in 2014.

Wilson left DAYS in 2016, returning in 2018. When a redeemed Ben and his wife, Ciara, were sent off into the sunset in 2022, the actor remained with the show in a new role: Alex Kiriakis.
