Benjamin James Ayres (born January 19, 1977) is an actor, director, photographer best known for his role as Casper Jesperson (aka "Cancer Cowboy"), the chain-smoking sex addict who is morbidly obsessed with death, in the critically acclaimed cult hit CBC Television series jPod, based on the Douglas Coupland novel of the same title. He is currently filming the third season of the CTV series Saving Hope and also recurs on the Gemini Award–winning HBO Canada series Less Than Kind for which he has nominated for a Canadian Screen Award.
Benjamin Ayres (died c. 1775) was an English instrument maker.
Ayres may have been related to the scientist Thomas Ayres who was nominated to the Royal Society in 1707 and who was later involved in a joint stock company to exploit the Newcomen steam engine. Ayres was an apprentice and brother-in-law of Jonathan Sisson of London.
Ayres was active between 1731 and 1775, making mathematical instruments and compasses. He worked in Amsterdam from 1743 onward, and sold octants to the Dutch East India Company. His devices incorporate technical innovations introduced by Sisson, which were copied by others only after 1750. Some of them were included in the collection of instruments made by Gerard Arnout Hasselaer, a board member of the company. Hasselaer had connections with both Ayres and Sisson.
In 1734 Caleb Smith invented a "sea quadrant" using an unsilvered glass mirror to reflect the image of the sun into the telescope. Ayres produced an instrument based on this design mounted on gimbals over a magnetic compass, with a spirit level for use when the horizon was not visible, the whole contained in a solid wooden case.
