He retired in the 1970s from all save the occasional voice acting stint. His final role was providing the voice of Grimsby in the Disney animated feature The Little Mermaid.

He voiced Roger Radcliffe in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Rama in The Jungle Book, and Grimsby in The Little Mermaid. During the production of The Little Mermaid, nobody knew that Ben had provided the voice of Roger in One Hundred and One Dalmatians, and he had to tell them that he played the character. The role of Grimsby was the last role that he ever played before his death on July 2, 1989 from heart failure after having heart surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank, California at the age of 74.
