Though maybe not as instantly recognizable to audiences as his wife, the hugely popular actress Melissa McCarthy, Ben Falcone has steadily built an impressive and respected career of his own in both television and film. Over the years, Ben Falcone has appeared in a number of high-profile projects—some alongside McCarthy and others completely independent—such as the breakout hit “Bridesmaids” (2011), the action-comedy “The Heat” (2013), and the heartfelt indie gem “Enough Said” (2013). Hailing from Illinois, Ben Falcone first honed his comedic chops with the renowned Los Angeles-based improv group, The Groundlings, where he actually met Melissa McCarthy. For much of the 2000s, Ben Falcone worked diligently behind the scenes, often flying under the radar, until his role in “Bridesmaids” brought him into the spotlight. From there, Ben Falcone’s unique comic timing and on-screen presence earned him guest spots on various TV series and critical acclaim for his more dramatic-leaning performance in “Enough Said,” a role that notably didn’t feature his spouse. By this point, Ben Falcone wasn’t just acting—he’d also stepped into writing, producing, and directing, further proving his versatility. It was clear that Ben Falcone had firmly established himself as a multi-talented force in Hollywood and, without a doubt, the second major comedy star in their talented household.
Well, when it comes to Ben Falcone, you know, his career has had its ups and downs. If we’re talking about the standout moment in Ben Falcone’s filmography, it’s definitely Can You Ever Forgive Me? from 2018—that one really got the best reviews and is widely considered Ben Falcone’s highest-rated movie. On the flip side, though, not every project hit the mark. In fact, Ben Falcone’s lowest-rated movie tends to be The Boss, which came out back in 2016. So yeah, Ben Falcone has had some strong performances, but that one just didn’t resonate as well with audiences or critics. Still, it’s all part of the journey for Ben Falcone.
