His character Benson was one of the funniest parts of SOAP.

First favorite TV show and character, Benson. I think he was why I wanted to work in government!

Loved this show...

He was wonderful as Nathan Detroit in the 1976 Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls.

I had no idea he was the voice of Rafiki in "The Lion King." RIP, Mr. Guillaume.

He was one of the first persons of color to assume the role.

I admire him more and more.

His Isaac Jaffe on Sports Night is one of my favorite characters of all time, and the best TV boss--who wouldn't love to work for Isaac?

May he rest in peace!
