Career: After further stage work, he appeared as a guest lead on Hawaii Five-O. The producers of a psycho-thriller called Sssssss saw his performance and promptly cast him as the lead in that movie. He next played the psychotic wife-beating husband of Twiggy in her American film debut, W. His career break came in 1978 when he appeared as Lieutenant Starbuck in the movie and TV series Battlestar Galactica. Four years later, Benedict gained further popularity in what is arguably his most famous role, as conman Lieutenant Templeton 'Face' Peck in 1980s action series The A-Team. He played this high-profile role from 1982 to 1986. In 1987, Benedict took the title role of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Abbey Theatre. Both his performance and the entire play were panned by critics. Since then he has worked sparingly, but won new fans with his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 4 in 2007. He played King Rat in Dick Whittington in 2010 at the Milton Keynes Theatre and appeared in Peter Falk's iconic role as Lieutenant Columbo in that year's stage tour of Prescription Murder.
