I think Uncle Ben (as in the rice) would count in this category, as he is a fictional person (as far as I know). :lol:

In that case we should also include Uncle Ben Parker from Spiderman as played by my favorite actor, Cliff Robertson. :)

^ You're right, and let me add another gentle Ben. This was a one-shot character played by Julius Harris, and met up with Florida Evans on a fourth season episode of Good Times entitled "Florida's Day Out". Many SO members feel Ben should've been Florida's next husband instead of Carl Dixon, which would have been very nice! :lol:
