Dirk Benedict (born Dirk Niewoehner; March 1, 1945) is an American movie, television and stage actor, perhaps best known for playing the characters Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck in The A-Team television series and Lieutenant Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica film and television series. Benedict`s career break came in 1978 when he appeared as Lieutenant Starbuck in the movie and television series Battlestar Galactica. Four years later, Dirk gained further popularity as con-man Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck in 1980s action television series, The A-Team. He did not appear in the pilot film - creators Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo had wanted him from the beginning, but the network executives insisted that they wanted a different sort of actor in the role. Tim Dunigan won the part; but upon completion of the pilot, the executives decided that he wasn`t quite right for the role, and it was given to Benedict. In 1993 Benedict starred in Shadow Force. In 2000, Benedict wrote and directed his first screenplay, Cahoots. In 2005 he played an impostor, pretending to be an 80s moviestar who wants to moderate a charity performance. Goldene Zeiten (Times of Gold) by Peter Thorwardt. 1989 saw Benedict in the T.V. movie Trenchcoat in Paradise. Dirk appeared as a contestant on the 2007 UK series of Celebrity Big Brother. He arrived on the first night in a replica of the A-Team Van, smoking a cigar and accompanied by the A-Team theme tune. Dirk finished in third place overall. Benedict was born in Helena, Montana, the son of Pricilla Mella (n�e Metzger), an accountant, and George Edward Niewoehner, a lawyer. He grew up in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. In 1986, he married Toni Hudson, an actress (who had previously appeared in the fourth season A-Team episode "Blood, Sweat and Cheers"), with whom he has two sons, George and Roland. They divorced in 1995. In 1998, Benedict learned that he also has another son, John (born 1968), from a youthful relationship.
