R.I.P Robert Guillaume

Benson was good, but he absolutely shined on Sports Night.

Came to mention him in Sports Night. Now that we've lit the Sports Night beacon, I expect Legion to be here soon.

Benson was one of those late morning/afternoon shows that signaled cartoon time was over in the early 80s, but for some reason I remember that I watched it and liked it, even though I don't actually remember watching any. Guillaume was a significant figure, which is something I wasn't equipped to appreciate at the time, but given I still have those memories, he must have made an impact.

R.I.P.

Don't forget his voice work: he was Rafiki in The Lion King and of course he voiced Dr Eli Vance in Half-Life 2!

Sad to hear he passed.
