ROBBY BENSON, 66 YEARS OLD

One memorable role played by Robby Benson was in the 1977 film One on One as Henry Steele, a high school rising basketball star from a small town in Colorado. He supposedly won a college scholarship, so there were supposed to be no student loans, and in exchange, he played basketball. This film made the now-66-year-old actor prominent back in the day, and so it was followed by more projects, like Beauty and the Beast, Ice Castles, and Walk Proud.

The actor has been married to his wife, Karla DeVito, since 1982. Looking back in time, the two met when they starred together in The Pirates of Penzance, which got released in 1983. The couple shares two children. Nowadays, Benson is still working on various gigs. He ventured into video games, taking on his role as the Beast in several action games developed over the years. The latest screen appearance was A Feeling of Home, a Hallmark Channel TV film.
