Needs a Comeback


Perhaps it is hard to grasp that at one time Robby Benson was a pretty big deal. He wasn't as popular as Travolta, but everyone I knew liked him. The 1970s was a time when he was offered a lot of good roles. He also did okay in the 1980s, but the 1990s didn't give him the leading man material that matched his special way of acting. I somehow think that didn't' bother him. I think certain critics just didn't like his subdued way of saying his dialogue, and with that, he wasn't offered good roles. I mean, he did a lot of stuff. Just look at his IMDB profile; it just seems it all changed by the 1990s, and he became something of a figure of nostalgia and stunt casting.

I would love to see him play and sing again!

He says he's going to be in front of the camera again. That's the reason for his new headshots.

The root of all unhappiness is unmet expectation.
