Interview with Dirk Benedict

The A-Team and Battlestar Galactica actor Dirk Benedict recently visited Swindon to meet fans. Listen to out interview and view a gallery!


Eight actors from the 70s cult sci-fi TV series Battlestar Galactica visited Swindon memorabilia store Infinitely Better on Thursday 12th August to meet fans and sign autographs.

But most fans had gone along to meet one of the stars in particular, actor Dirk Benedict who played the handsome, charming pilot Lt. Starbuck. However Dirk is even more famous for playing the handsome, charming Face-man in The A-Team!

Dirk had been travelling for 26 hours straight before arriving in Swindon but was in high spirits and regaled fans with anecdotes and memories of his time in both cult shows.

He also spared a few minutes to have a quick chat on the phone with BBC Radio Swindon's Live Tonight Show presenters Tory Maurice and Ollie Dearden.

Nice to see original BSG cast together !

Iggy
Well said Starbuck Fan! I love the BSG series and think it's great that they still hang out on occassion...Dirk's press agent is a sweet lady, I agree!

Starbuck Fan
Getting to meet Dirk and the rest of the original BSG cast was a double pleasure because I was lucky enough to see them at Galacticon in the US a few years ago and I thought that would be a once in a lifetime thing! What a treat to get to see them together again! It was a memorable event and they were great together! As for Dirk's PR manager. I've had the pleasure of meeting her at Galacticon and not only is she a sweet and classy lady but totally gorgeous as well! Rock on Dirk and original Battlestar Galactica!

Smurfcrusher
Dirk, hopefully the producers in the new series will give you a happy home on the new set! You were a fun and entertaining character in the old series and I wish you the best.
