Matt McGorry is an American actor, best known for his role as Officer Ben Mendelsohn in the Netflix series "Orange is the New Black". He played the character from 2013 to 2019, and became a fan favorite for his portrayal of the lovable and awkward corrections officer.

McGorry's character, Ben Mendelsohn, was a complex and nuanced one, often finding himself caught between his duty to enforce the rules and his growing empathy for the inmates.

In addition to his work on "Orange is the New Black", McGorry has appeared in other TV shows and films, including "How to Get Away with Murder", "The Good Wife", and "The Slap". He has also been an advocate for social justice and LGBTQ+ rights, using his platform to raise awareness and support for important causes.
