List from Encyclopedia of Fictional People:

Matlock (Matlock)
Casey (Ben Casey)
Braddock (The Graduate)

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

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!

When I first read this, all I could think of was Clint Howard's friend Gentle Ben the bear.
