Loved him on SOAP. Never really got into "Benson" but I always thought he was funny.



MODS - please move to OT. Sorry 'bout that.

his better work was in "soap" as the butler (also benson? might have been a spin-off)

edit: correct- he was originally benson in "soap" frigginhilarious show, billy crystal, richard mulligan, katherine hellemond

editX2: just looked at some soap eps. on utube. i guess it was funnier when we were smokin weed

No, it was funnier when we didn't have the attention span of gnats, and could stand to watch one thing without being distracted by a dozen other things.
