The man with the cigar is coming back… please welcome the one and only Dirk Benedict to Retro Con 2025, September 6th & 7th in Oaks, Pennsylvania!

Dirk has two iconic roles in the retro realm.

He played charming rogue Lieutenant Starbuck on the popular 1978 sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica! Colonial Warrior and Viper pilot, Starbuck was one of the most popular characters on the show. He was featured in every episode of the original show, as well as a stand-out episode of Galactica 1980 where he teamed up with a Cylon (nicknamed “Cy”) while stranded on a distant planet.

And of course Dirk played smooth-talking hustler Templeton Peck, better known as “Face”, on the long-running 80’s TV phenomenon The A-Team! The most averse to violence, and often the most sensible one of the group, Face preferred to serve as the team’s con-man to procure needed intel and supplies during their missions. Often while driving around in his fancy white and red Corvette convertible!

You may have also seen Dirk in movies such as 1973’s ‘Sssssss’, Scavenger Hunt (1979), and Body Slam (1986)!

Dirk doesn’t get to many shows in the area, so don’t miss your chance to meet the man himself at Retro Con 2025!!
