    One of the reason Beauty and the Beat is my favorite fairytale is because of him and that stunning voice of his. I can't help but also think they patterned the beast's eyes after Robbie's own eyes. His eyes are these beautiful light blue.

    Robbie Benson really embodied the Beast with his voice and his charm. Every time I hear it, it's so nostalgic. It can be both scary when he's angry and both romantic when he's kind and gentle. This dude is a quality voice actor as well as an actor.

    I guess I was one of the few people were wasn't surprised at all by this choice for the part of beast. I had remembered Robby Benson's range when he and I were both much younger and he had a rather sad and beautiful part in a movie (I can't remember the name of the movie) where he played a boy with a brain tumor. He was amazing, even at the age he was. I also knew he had (and still has) an amazing singing voice). Yes, this was a perfect choice for the part of 'Beast'.

    My god he’s aged insanely well. They all have including Misses Lansbury. Or Miss Lansbury? Misses Pots. And they all resemble their characters but man he really does.

    When I think of Robby Benson, The movie "One on One" comes up, where his young adult BB player, character is under a brutal BB coach, which I think Robby wrote the movie script...??? But Robby, you're a Champion, a survivor, as well as being a consummate actor and director. This man has survived 4 open heart surgeries !!! As person with CHF, I just can't process those surgeries.

    1:22 Oh you can tell they probably used his faciel expressions as reference to the beast too because he MOVES like the Beast, especially with his mouth, brows, and eyes.

    And I just can't undersatnd why Disney couldn't use him again. It would bring him to light - acting wise, cause I know he's been directing - again... He is gorgeous... The new guy is beautiful too, but, man, this gauy is gorgeous.
