Ben Wan

Ben Wan grew up as a third generation Chinese American in Irvine, California. In 2006, he became one of the twenty-six undergraduate students accepted into USC’s Writing for Screen and Television Program. Shortly after graduation, he placed two scripts in the top ten of Script Pipeline’s TV Writing Contest in 2011. In 2012, out of 1,600 applicants, he was one of the eight writers selected for NBC’s Writers On the Verge. Two weeks into the program, however, he was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After six months of chemotherapy, Ben beat cancer into remission and went on to produce his own published work.

Ben co-hosts as “The Man Who Knows Too Much About Batman” on the podcast “Superhero Stuff You Should Know”, an educational entertainment show that covers comic book films and unmade scripts, as well as interviews with actors, writers, and comic book artists.
