  Dirk Benedict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dirk Benedict (born Dirk Niewoehner on March 1, 1945) is an American movie and television actor, perhaps best known for playing the characters Lt. Templeton "The Faceman" Peck in The A-Team television series and Lt. Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica movie and television series.
At that time, he started to use the stage name 'Benedict'; supposedly, whilst searching for a catchier, less ethnic name, he agreed to the suggestion of "Benedict" by his agent, who was inspired by Dirk's breakfast choice of Eggs Benedict during their early morning conversation.
Benedict then played repertory theatre in Seattle and in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he played such roles as Edmund in King Lear, Tarleton in Misalliance, Ensign Pulver in Mister Roberts, and the lead in Neil Simon's Star-Spangled Girl.
