Go look up the Original Series on Internet Movie Database and look up the casting. I can't post the link since that I'm a new member and I can't post links for the first 7 days of me registering.
Okay, i have to stop you there. Man of Action didnt write all the episodes of the OS, They pitch the idea for the show and develop it into the show you know. But the main writers of the OS were two:
-Tom Pugsley and Greg Klein who write 11 episodes together and 3 episodes each one, that means 14 episodes and you can add there the 3 episodes of "The Secret of the Omnitrix".
Along Tom Pugsley and Greg Klein, they were: Marty Isenberg who write 11 episodes, Greg Weisman who write 3 episodes, Kevin Hopps who write 2 episodes, Eugene Son who write 2 episodes, Marsha F. Griffin who write 2 episodes and Adam Beechen who write 1 episode.
That Means 35 episodes write for the staff and add to that Sean Jara, Jeff Hare, James Phillips, Michael Jelenic and Amy Wolfram freelance writers who each one make 1 episode (5 in total).
That means 40 episodes of 52 write for another people that doesnt belong to Man of Action, in another words the staff of writers of the OS.
However Man of Action and his members did write some episodes, like "The Krakken", "Tourist Trap" and "Last Laugh", while Joe Kelly write "The Galactic Enforcers", Steven T. Seagle write "Tough Luck", Duncan Rouleau write "Dr. Animo and the Mutant Ray" and "Merry Christmas".
Tom Pugslay was the one who write "And Then There Were 10" and he along Gren Klein write the last episode of the OS "Goodbye and Good Riddance" and he along Greg Klein write too "The Secret of the Omnitrix".

Also if you ask yourself who direct the 52 episodes of Omnitrix they were only 3 main directors: Scooter Tidwell who direct 31 episodes, Sebastian O. Montes III who direct 15 episodes, Alex Soto who direct 3 episodes and Sebastian Montes who direct 3 episodes (is the same guy only that i believe the credict was make wrong).

I dont mean to say with this, that Man of Action didnt write and create Ben 10, i only want to remember to the people that Ben 10 was a creation make by a team of people. The designs of the aliens, the Omnitrix, Gwen, Ben and Max wasnt Man of Action. The creation of some of the most important characters of Ben 10 wasnt only Man of Action. But that doesnt mean Man of Action didnt write some of the strangest, unique, full of roadtrip and unique episodes of the series...
But Man of Action did leave Ben 10 after they make the OS, because Cartoon Network wanted the show to go in another direction, to grown and be popular with a new generation of kids and the tendency from the year 2008 that the superheroes needed to be dark and mature like The Dark Knight wasnt...
That is why Cartoon Network bring to the show Dwayne McDuffie along Glenn Murakami (one of the designers of the old animation style of DC) and the both of them created Ben 10: Alien Force, with Matt Wayne, Charlotte Fullerton and Len Uhley writing a lot of episodes along Dwayne...
