Born: March 1, 1945

Movie and TV leading man Dirk Benedict was young, handsome, muscular and enthusiastic. These qualities were far more important than versatility in establishing Benedict as a dependable screen presence in the 1970s. His theatrical films include Scavenger_Hunt (1979), Body_Slam (1987), and Shadow_Force (1992), their subject matter implicit in their titles. Far more successful on series television than in films, Dirk Benedict played Officer Gil Foley on Chopper_One (1974), Starbuck on Battlestar_Gallactica (1978), and master impressionist Templeton "Face" Peck on The A-Team (1983-87).
