2. He looks great! More Hollywood celebs should age this gracefully and forget about the plastic surgery!

4. The gray hair is the only thing that makes him look older. Nothing a little bottle of Just for Men can't fix!!!

6. Years ago, I saw him play the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera. He was fantastic and he has/had an excellent singing voice!

7. He's 80? Man, does he look young. Aside from the hair, he could pass for 40.

I always liked him as Benson, especially on the original series Soap.

10. Nice to see him looking so good! My husband and I watched "Benson" all the time in the early 80's. It was one of our favorite shows! They sure don't make sitcoms like they used too. Best wishes to Robert Guillaume.

15. He did voiceover work on the bi-lingual kiddie show "Robinita Hood" which I just saw on HBO On Demand. He looks wonderful. I'm glad he's doing better since the stroke.
