Dirk Benedict Movies
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). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
