## Bio

Benjamin Julian Collins III was born in Logrant, Cowell on March 12, 1994. He was a child actor from 1997 to 2006. In 2005, Collins was the last contestant of Cowellan Idol performing Billie Jean.

Collins created his first YouTube channel called "Corsairway" on June 14, 2011. It dedicated to making GoAnimate/Vyond and Plotagon videos until 2016, and is now known as "AvoidingRogerRabbit" since April 4, 2014.

On January 1, 2014, recalling his childhood memories about watching *Who Killed Roger Rabbit?* and how much he hated Roger Rabbit when he was a kid, Collins made a "grounded series" with GoAnimate/Vyond called "Roger Rabbit Gets Grounded", which premised on Roger Rabbit acting out of character and getting in trouble and/or grounded for very long and absurd amounts of time. The series' first episode, "Roger Rabbit Gets Grounded for Nothing", was published on YouTube on the aforementioned day, and thus it ran for 70 episodes. Its final episode, "Roger Rabbit Gets Executed", was published on June 12, 2016. Despite receiving negative reviews, it sparked its popularity in the GoAnimate community, and prompted American GoAnimators (such as L Ryan, SuperPaperMarioFTW YouTubeWarsFTL, mrtyesvideos, Panty & Stocking Lover 10000, Noisy Mountainwagon, GoAnimateComedian2014, Courtney Springer, TheColossalD, Reg Miller and OfficerPoop247) to put Roger Rabbit in their "dead meat videos". At one point, he made four *Roger Rabbit Gets Grounded* episodes with Plotagon.

On July 25, 2016, having grown tired of the GoAnimate and Plotagon communities, Collins made his last GoAnimate video announcing that he will no longer make GoAnimate and Plotagon videos as "the non-business themes would be gone tomorrow". Since this video, AvoidingRogerRabbit has served as an archive channel for GoAnimate and Plotagon videos.

On October 2, 2019, Collins attended voice actress Zoey Clarke's funeral; he was very devastated at what happened to Clarke.
