Dr. Ben Song is the lead physicist working on the Quantum Leap Project. Taking an unauthorized and unexpected leap into the accelerator, he gets stuck in the past, leaping into the bodies of different people, while also having partial amnesia about his identity as a result of leaping.

He is engaged to Addison Augustine, the team member originally trained and prepped to be the leaper.

Ben has a genius IQ, speaks multiple languages fluently, loves all sorts of different foods, and he and Addison used to watch Real Housewives together before he was lost in time.

Ben Song Quotes

Ben: We gotta get out of here! Hey, the wing is on fire. The engine on that wing is on fire. This whole place is gonna blow at any second!
Grier: This crate is my mission. It is the most important thing they’ve ever entrusted me with. I am not going to fail!

Grier: That thing is a ticket out of running dead-end long-haul supply missions. We land in New Delhi, hand it off, you two [to Abrams brothers] get to go … do whatever, you [to Bailey] get an honorable discharge, and you [to Ben] get to finally go home. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?
Ben: Yeah, it is.

Addison: Have you been hiding?
Ben: Hiding? No, I was just in a different section of the apartment.
Addison: You mean the bathroom where you were hiding from the party you didn’t want to have?
Ben: I love parties. Having everyone in here, touching all our stuff. I would’ve proposed way sooner if I knew we got to do this.
