IMDB trivia says: "Robby Benson has worked in television or on a movie every year of his life from 1971-2004." So when Robby says, "I have never had more fun working in front of or behind the camera than with Peter and Leslie Tolan" -- that's saying something! Brave New World did not make it onto NBC's fall 2011 schedule -- but a great time was had by all!
Robby Benson has been chosen as a key note speaker for the 2nd Annual Cleveland Clinic Patient Experience: Empathy and Innovation Summit on May 22-24 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Benson has had four open-heart surgeries at four different hospitals over the past 27 years for a congenital valve defect. In May of 2010 he had a successful reverse Ross Procedure at The Cleveland Clinic by the only man in the world who performs them, Dr. Gosta Pettersson.
