Knight, often credited as Ben Kermode commenced his career as an actor in 1997, when he made a guest appearance in the Australian television series State Coroner.

In 2005, Knight returned to acting with the short film Smacked Out Kisses. In 2009, he received a short recurring role on Seven Network soap opera Home and Away, for which he played Hazem Kassir,[1] the love interest of Leah Patterson-Baker.

In 2009, Knight starred in the short film Rikki, in which he served as director, writer, producer, editor and composer of the film. He has appeared in several feature films during his career, first being an uncredited role in the thriller The Nines, with Ryan Reynolds, David & Fatima and the horror film Prey, with Natalie Bassingthwaighte.
