Biography
Robert Ben Garant—credited as Ben Garant early in his career—is an American screenwriter, producer, director, comedian, and actor. Born September 14, 1970, in the US, he anchored a decades-long creative partnership with Thomas Lennon and Kerri Kenney-Silver, beginning in the sketch-comedy troupe The State and continuing through the sketch-comedy show of the same name, the law-enforcement spoof Reno 911!, and numerous screenwriting projects. His work straddles comedy and dramatic writing, with roles both behind and in front of the camera. As a Virgo, Garant's methodical approach to collaborative storytelling—balancing the anarchic energy of live sketch comedy with the discipline required for scripted television—reflects the sign's reputation for craft and precision. Screenwriters in television and film typically spend years refining pitches, managing multiple rewrites, and navigating studio notes before a project reaches production. Garant's dual focus on screenwriting and performance distinguishes him from writers who work only on the page.
