Beauty and the Beast - Trinidad and Tobago Showboat Orchestra
It's another celebrity birthday today, this time for ROBBY BENSON who turns 54! If you are a Disney fan then you probably know Benson as the voice of the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.
Here are five things you probably didn't know about Robby Benson:
Benson was the director for the entire 25-episode second season of Ellen DeGeneres' sitcom Ellen.
Benson's other voice over work includes the lead role in The Legend of Prince Valiant and J.T. Marsh in Exosquad, as well as reprising the role of the Beast in all the Beauty and the Beast sequels House of Mouse and the Kingdom Hearts video games.
Benson auditioned for the role of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars but lost to Mark Hamill.
Benson was born with a heart defect that caused him to have surgery a few times throughout his life. This lead to the creation of the off-Broadway musical Open Heart of which he wrote all of the script and music.
Benson's two children are called Lyric and Zephyr.
Today's cover is from the album BEAUTY AND THE BEAT by the steelband group TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO SHOWBOAT ORCHESTRA. Don't let the opening of this song fool you. It starts off with Something There but then goes into Beauty and the Beast.
