Quick Bio
As the story goes, Dirk Niewoehner changed his name to Benedict at his agent's suggestion, who was inspired by a plate of Eggs Benedict that was sitting in front of him. After growing-up in Montana and going to college in Washington State, Benedict studied acting in Michigan. While best known for his performances on TV--including The A-Team, Chopper One and Battlestar Galactica (which   cemented his star status)--he cut his teeth acting in the  theater. He is also well known for beating prostate cancer, which he contracted in 1975, with a macrobiotic diet that he details in his autobiography, Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy. Today, he continues to act, write and direct. He is the author of three memoirs, Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy, And Then We Went Fishing, and Montana Memoirs (not yet published).  He has also written two plays, "Puppy Dog Tales" and "Acting Becomes Her" as well as a screenplay, "Cahoots." He is married to actress Toni Hudson.
