His uncle is playwright Robert Schenkkan. Ben is of Dutch Jewish (from his paternal grandfather), English, and Scottish descent. He attended Austin High School, and played wide receiver and defensive back for the school's football team. From 1997-2001, he attended the University of Virginia, where he majored in Foreign Affairs and Economics. McKenzie got into acting during his first few years at the University of Virginia, where he appeared in "Measure for Measure" and "Zoo Story." After graduation he moved to New York and appeared off-Broadway in "Life is a Dream" at the SoHo Rep. Additionally, he performed in numerous productions at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, including "Street Scene" and "The Blue Bird." He relocated to Los Angeles in late 2001. His early TV appearances included roles on The District, JAG and Mad TV. In 2003, FOX premiered the television series The O.C., about affluent teenagers with stormy personal lives who reside in scenic Orange County, California. The show became an overnight success and it put McKenzie on the map as Ryan Atwood. While appearing in 'The O.C.', McKenzie made his feature film debut in 'Junebug' opposite Amy Adams. The film received high praise at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. He also appeared in a pivotal role in the 2007 film '88 Minutes', which starred Al Pacino. McKenzie's first starring role in a feature film was in the 2008 indie release 'Johnny Got His Gun.' The movie premiered at the Paramount Theater in Austin, TX, McKenzie's hometown, prior to playing art houses where it garnered excellent reviews for his solo performance. April 9, 2009 NBC replaced the long-running series 'E.R.' after 15 years with a new cop drama, Southland, starring McKenzie as rookie police officer Ben Sherman. McKenzie is playing Jim Gordon in the Batman-themed series Gotham (2014), beginning in September 2014.

Taking place 4 years after Arkham Asylum while protesting the use of the new prison Arkham City Bruce Wayne is kidnapped and forced into the new Arkham by Hugo Strange. Throughout the movie Bruce tries to find a cure for a disease that Harley Quinn infected him with by the order of Joker who is revealed to still be alive. Meanwhile Robin and Oracle try to find a way to breach the walls of the city. Batman must fight villains like Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Ras al Ghul, Bane, and Joker himself to cure himself before he dies. Eventually Bruce realizes that he needs to fight the illness from within his own mind. He manages to cure himself of it but is still infected with Joker's blood. The movie climaxes as Bruce fights his way through all of the villains to get out and eventually comes face to face with Joker who reveals it was the Titan serum that infected him. Joker does die from his disease but not before pulling off one last stunt as he kills Robin who had been taken and locked up by Hugo Strange who tied him to a bomb. Seeing this Bruce finds Hugo and nearly kills him but is talked out of it by Catwoman. The movie ends with Bruce and Catwoman leaving Arkham city as it is shut down and Hugo along with the other villains are locked up. The movie closes as Bruce calls someone. We cut to the other end of the call as Dick Grayson now known as Nightwing is fighting Clayface.
