Ben Rogers (born Oliver Weston) a fictional character from the original NBC Daytime soap opera Days of our Lives.

In the summer of 2013, Soap Opera Digest reported that Days had put out two separate casting calls, one of which was for the role of Ben. In February 2014, it was reported that actor and country singer ('Justin Gaston'), known for his appearance on the television series Nashville Star, had been cast in the contract role of Ben. Gaston filmed his first scenes in October 2013 and was slated to debut on February 26, 2014. During the week of April 7, 2014, rumors circulated that 'Gaston' had been replaced by actor ('Rob Wilson') but neither the actors nor the show commented on the rumor.

On April 14, 2014, Soap Opera Digest confirmed the rumor and reported that 'Gaston' was indeed replaced by 'Wilson', known for being the first male model on The Price Is Right and for his portrayal of Peter Cortlandt in the short-lived online reboot of the ABC Daytime drama All My Children. 'Wilson' started filming in late January 2014 when the series celebrated its renewal. 'Wilson' was slated to debut in May 2014. The original casting call described Ben as being in his early to mid-20s, a “gorgeous, Caucasian, country boy”. He is supposed to be Midwestern or Southern. The casting notice also described Ben as “utterly charming” due to his “honest sincere approach to life and love”. The producers looked for actors with a musical background. According to Soap Central, musical talent was not a requirement for those auditioning for the role. Ben was also said to have a "slight southern accent".
