Welcome to Dirk Benedict Central – the only OFFICIAL website for news and information about actor/author Dirk Benedict.  Learn where and when he will next appear, any upcoming projects, etc. here, or on one of our social media platforms (Facebook or X). 

Be advised that Dirk Benedict Central is the ONLY authorized social media presence for actor Dirk Benedict anywhere; if there is anyone, on any platform, claiming to be him, they’re not him – and are likely trying to scam you!

Over the years we created a community of people, who talked about his many roles (including Starbuck and the Faceman), about Macrobiotics – basically all things Dirk Benedict, and more; we are people who initially came together to celebrate Dirk, his career, and his books, but we discovered that we have much more in common and became a community of friends. Times (and technology) have changed, so if you’d like to join us in our current discussions, head over to our Facebook page or X (Twitter) account and let’s talk!

If you want to see what’s coming up for Dirk, take a look back at his previous work, see pictures from his past roles or appearances, the menu is on the right.  We bid you a warm welcome and hope you enjoy – and come back often! 

Erin Alves, Webmaster

“There is a divine moment in our lives when we become One. It is called pro-creation and it is reborn continually and forever in the future we call children.
They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents… we fail as God’s Children.”

Actor, Author, Director, Woodchopper, Dad

**10/17/2025: John Pickard, DBC webmaster and social media manager, has passed away. I would like to first express my deepest sympathy to all of you who knew and loved John. I am not exaggerating when I tell you he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever known. Second, I would like to assure you that it is my intention to keep the website and social media pages current. Please bear with me during this transition period. I hope I can do justice to the excellent work John has done with them over the years. Take care, friends. – Erin
