His big break was in 1995 as Peter, who fell in love with a man, in Joseph Vilsmaier's Schlafes Bruder.
In 2008 Becker worked with the German band Schiller (thus following in the footsteps of his stepfather Otto Sander), where Ben did spoken lyrics for the album Sehnsucht.
[2] The lyrics[3] are a shortened version of a poem in German called Die Seele[4] that is attributed to Lord Byron.
It appears to be a translation of the Byron poem, "When coldness wraps this suffering clay" from the collection Hebrew Melodies.
The identity of the translator/author of Die Seele is unknown although the text may be from "Lord Byrons Werke In sechs Bänden" translated by Otto Gildemeister, 3rd Volume, Fifth Edition, Berlin 1903 (pages 134-135).
