Sir Benjamin "
Ben"
Wyatt, OBE is a character portrayed by
Adam Scott in the TV series
Parks and Recreation. The character guest starred in two episodes of
season two and was upgraded to a series regular in
season three. Ben is a
state auditor who comes into Pawnee with
Chris Traeger to evaluate the town's funds at the end of the second season. Compared with the exuberant Chris, Ben is very serious and straightforward, willing to tell the truth no matter how harsh; the two used to do budget meetings individually, but it didn't work out because Chris would never get anything done and Ben received multiple
death threats. Ben began dating
Leslie Knope in the
season three episode "
Road Trip" and married her in the
season five episode "Leslie and Ben."
