Face was the A-Team's conman, often managing to cheat people out of everything they owned and still leave them smiling. Whatever was needed, be it a lawnmower engine, a Jet, helicopters, tanker trucks, or supplies he could obtain it no matter where, no matter when. And if the hapless victim was female it was all the easier for Face (nicknamed on account of his clean-cut good looks). However, Face was never one for the inevitable fighting that being an A-Team member entailed, and he was forever complaining about getting hit too often.

The Actor

Name:Dirk "Niewoehner" Benedict
Born: March 1, 1945
Place of Birth: Helena, Montana, USA

Dirk's birth name was Dirk Niewoehner but he changed it on the suggestion of his agent over breakfast, which happened to be eggs benedict. He grew up in White Sulfer Springs, MT, and graduated highschool there. He went to Whitman College in Washington on a sports scholarship, and on a dare by some of his friends, he tried out for the drama department. After getting the lead role, Dirk found that drama was something he enjoyed. He worked in theater for a few years and started in some low budgent movies. He quit acting for three years and when he returned, he started auditioning for more movies and tv shows. He landed one of his most famous roles as Lt. Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica and then a few years later, joined the cast of the A-team. Currently Dirk is finishing up a book about his life growing up in Montana.
