Page "Ben Nicholas" Paragraph 1

Raised in Adelaide, South Australia, he lives in Melbourne, Australia.

According to former Neighbours co-star Matthew Werkmeister ( Zeke ), some of Stingray's more individual expressions such as " hufter " and " Belgium " ( as an expression of dismay or irritation ) were coined by Ben himself ( although the use of ' Belgium ' as a curse word was pioneered by Douglas Adams in The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy ).

It was rumoured that Ben had planned on leaving Neighbours for some time to further his career in movies.

His final performance as ' Stingray ' aired on 23 March 2007.

Nicholas travelled from Australia to the UK to perform pantomime over the Christmas period.

In December 2006, he performed at the Marlowe Theatre, in Canterbury, Kent, as Prince Charming.

He performed in Cinderella in the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage from 1 December 2007 until 27 January 2008.

He is also involved with The Rayz, a London based band.
