DIRK BENEDICT | 75

Dirk Benedict is not only an actor but a best-selling author, too. You may probably know him for his role as Lieutenant Templeton ¡°Faceman¡± Peck in the television series A-Team and Lieutenant Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. But he is also famous for the books he published, And Then We Went Fishing and Confessions of a Kamikaze.

Born on March 1, 1945, Benedict¡¯s debut in the industry was in Georgia, Georgia, in 1972. In 1978, Benedict starred in the TV movie Cruise into Terror and had an appearance in the ensemble movie Scavenger Hunt the following year. However, in the 1970s, Dirk suffered from a cancerous prostate tumor. But he is probably fine and well today, probably securing himself a health insurance policy that will help him later in life. After his divorce from Toni Hudson in 1995, it looks like Dirk has no plans to get married again.
