Robby Benson – Born in 1956, Beauty And The Beast

Teen idols can either fade into oblivion or become just as renowned in their adult years. Luckily, Roby Benson belongs in the latter category. He rose to fame in the ’70s after starring in the sports film “One on One.” The film allowed him to show off his very real basketball skills, and he followed that with “Ice Castles.”

Benson’s best claim to fame is voicing the ‘Beast’ in Disney’s 1991 adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast.” Benson also worked as a professor at the University of Utah, South Carolina, and some others. Finally in 2022, he landed a role in the sci-fi drama series “Severance.”
