Robby Benson – Now

In the Disney animated film Beauty and The Beast, Benson’s best-known work these days is lending his voice to the ‘Beast.’ Since 1982, he has been happily married and has worked as a professor at various universities in Utah, South Carolina, New York, and, now, Indiana. Fact: Robby had heart problems, which he had never mentioned to directors and manufacturers since he thought he wouldn’t be thrown into anything. More than four heart surgeries have occurred in Benson.
