Ben Mikaelsen: Hello. My name is Ben Mikaelsen, and I was born and raised down in Bolivia, South America, and a lot of people will pronounce my name Mickelson, and it really doesn't matter in English, although Mikaelsen is the right prounounciation. However, in Spanish, which is the language I used many times growing up, it was a huge difference. Mikaelsen in Spanish is Mikaelson, and that's okay. But Mikaelsen in Spanish is Michalson, now that means, my underpants, which is not okay. So in Spanish, I always correct people in English not so much, but my name is Ben Mikaelsen, thank you.
