Robert Gulliamue is dead. The legendary sitcom star died of prostate cancer and Mr G , as he was known, died at the age of 88 years. Robert was a actor and spot character often appearing like on all the classic seventies programs at least one time including "All In The Family" and "Stanford and Son" and it was to be the controversial sitcom where he played a butler named Benson where Mr Guillaume would get his biggest fame. The Uncle Ben looking Benson was a wise ass and usually smarter than the people around him and he couldn't believe how these people had wealth and money. Benson was an amazing character and the only one worth watching on "Soap" which was an unusual sitcom that parodied soap operas. Benson was the mains comedic value of this program and he was eventually rewarded with a spin off series of is own under the Benson name and brand.
Eventually Benson proved to be smarter and this short-runed comedy series illustrated the current problem of wealthy individuals basically being handed and buying political office and being totally incompetent to run. Benson rose quickly to being the Governors main influential confidant on this program which didn't really last and do to good in ratings. Gulliamue trashed his voice role for Disney's Lion King and perhaps because this was the highest paying gig he ever received and feels blessed to be paid to outrageously for a few lines of a talking cartoon lion. However, it was his early stage and musical dancing Charleston antics that paved the wave for the cherished role as voice of Rifitki or whatever the cartoon character he played in these stupid Disney animations.
Why these Disney cartoon ponzi schemes even allow famous celebrities to buy voice roles is another question and they should always be voice professional trained speakers in these movie roles and not just big Hollywood names. Robert Guillame will always be Benson to me and he is dead at the age of 88.
