American television writer, also credited as Ben M. Waller, who wrote the Lower Decks episodes Mugato, Gumato and Trusted Sources.
Ben Waller worked on the writing staff of Lower Decks and has two scripts to his name.
Mugato, Gumato, from the second season, sends an away team to a planet where Ferengi poachers are trapping mugato. Boimler and Rutherford, worried by a rumour that Mariner is a secret agent, end up talking the Ferengi into running a reserve instead.
Trusted Sources, the penultimate episode of the third season, has a journalist come aboard to report on Captain Freeman's Project Swing By, a plan to revisit worlds Starfleet once helped. The follow-up call on Ornara goes well, but Brekka has been taken by the Breen, and a misunderstanding over the interviews leads Freeman to transfer Mariner to Starbase 80.
