DAMIEN Trotter was played by no fewer than six actors in legendary sitcom Only Fools And Horses.<\/p>\n

However, there's one in particular you're likely to remember – Benjamin Smith, who played Del and Raquel's son in the later episodes.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He appeared in the early 2000s revival of the comedy, complete with shaven head, braces and a chunky gold chain.<\/p>\n

But you night not recognise Ben these days, though you may well have seen him because he's a prolific actor.<\/p>\n

Now 33, he has appeared in some of Britain's biggest shows, plus the movie Nowhere Boy.<\/p>\n

He bowed out of the role of Damien when Only Fools and Horses shot its final ever episode, Sleepless in Peckham, on Christmas Day in 2003.<\/p>\n

Ben went on to appear in some of iconic shows, among them Skins, where he was Donny, and EastEnders, where he played Tegs.<\/p>\n

Other shows he's appeared in include Channel 4's cult classic Teachers and E4's Misfits and ITV detective drama Scott & Bailey.<\/p>\n

The actor also played a journalist in the gritty Netflix miniseries Resistance and Rebellion.<\/p>\n

However, he is proud of having played such a well-remembered character in Only Fools and Horses – even appearing at one of the show's many conventions.<\/p>\n

He has spoken about the character, who we saw as a baby and a pre-teen but not much between because the show was off-air.<\/p>\n

Ben explained how he thought his character would be now, saying: "I think Damien is a modern young Del Boy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"Perhaps we never actually saw him growing up but all the references we get from the show from when he was younger he seemed like a real 'jack the lad'.<\/p>\n

"So I'd imagine that Damien is a modern young version keeping up-to-date with gangsta rap and all that culture."<\/p>\n
