Over here you really had to be "in" with American silly slapstick humour to get the jokes - that is why SOAP was such a hit over here. Whatever happened to Richard? Guillemot?

Robert Guillaume <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guillaume> Benson was the only normal person on Soap, and didn't take no guff from the dummy Bob, throwing his head out the Window in one episode. :) He was Isaac Jaffe on Sports Night (1998-2000) on his last TV series. He is also the voice of Rafiki in the movie The Lion King and its sequels and spin-offs.

I've seen the big guy and the 2wife2 in several sitcoms and movies but hardly anything of the Butler after his own show spin off. (similar to the attitude shown by the butler in the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".

On Soap a long running gag was whenever the door bell rang, Benson would look up, as everyone stared expectantly at him, and would say "You want me to get that...?" :D
