He was very funny as Benson an enjoyable tv series that ran for several seasons. I also saw him in the film "Seems like old times" with Goldie Hawn Chevy Chase and Charles Grodin, very good film.

Watching Robert Guillaume play Benson, very believable also in his role as Morgan Freeman's boss in Lean on Me and playing the chauffeur Hoke in the tv pilot of Driving Miss Daisy to name just a few roles he's played R.I.P. Mr. Guillaume

Mr. Robert Guillaume you are truly loved and dearly missed. I still benge watch BENSON repeats. Yout acting gives me so much laughter. You are an iconic legend in LEAN ON ME. I also love you in THE SECRETS OF JONATHAN SPERRY.
I love the episode of you singing with Gladys Knight and The Pips on BENSON. I also love you as a Solid Gold Dancer and Singer.
In one more month you would have been 90 years old. So statistically speaking you were 90 when you passed.
