Another actor who played Benson? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Lejon · 05-18-2005, 04:32 PM

Does anyone know if there actually was another actor who was either slated to play the Benson character an turned it down or may have done the pilot?

I heard this in a conversation a while back and was trying to confirm it.

Thanks

I think Robert Guillaume was the only actor, but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone here can help you out.

The question was if there was another actor who was slated to play the part, and I wish I knew the answer myself. But you are right, Lejon, I do think I have heard something about that myself. Hopefully someone can give us an answer. Great question though, and welcome!

maybe someone was confusing him with Saunders, the butler the Tates hired to replace Benson after he left for the spinoff?
