[@ShipSpottingNederland]

A-team is 100% patriotism!! Still watching it on tv almost every day in the Netherlands...

[@MissAmazanda]

I feel sorry for the kids growing up now who have no ideal what the A team is.

[@steveerickson9847]

MissAmazanda that's the great thing about pop culture it's always being rediscovered 😊

[@bigpotato7804]

I watched every episode on Netflix as a kid before it was removed

[@rehabdrive5469]

I met Dirk that weekend as well, friendly and entertaining guy! My brother was extremely excited to meet one of the members of The A-Team as well. During the second day, while my brother was taking a photo of me with Mark Patton (from NOES2), I see Dirk passing by behind my brother. He sees me seeing him and he stops to say, "BOO!", in my brother's ear! Lol. After I was all done meeting Mark, I walked over to my brother and asked him what he thought of the guy saying BOO! while he was taking the picture. He told me it pissed him off... until i told him who had done it, then he thought it was hilarious! Lol. Anyway, just a fun story. 👍👍

[@genesis1_20]

Dirk Benedict is awesome! Wish I was able to go to these comic conventions to meet him and Dwight Schultz. Thank you for sharing this video 🙂

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

Love Dirk on the A-Team. He was so awesome as Face and i adored his Corvette.

[@philippabuxton8272]

even though I'm late in game and I'm on a learning curve about Dirk, I am glad that not only does Dirk gets it and fully understand what core values are and conservatism is and has stuck to those strong values his whole life! I love what he said, 'attack on the family, attack on the individual, attack on heterosexuality"! Plus I am glad Dirk his straight! Thanks for showing this and the other video you did about his first engagement and his ladies in the other one with Dirk! Shame he hasn't visited Australia, people would love him here! Go Dirk! Go the A Team! Patriotism Rules!!!

[@daved.7071]

Dirk is modest guy and has common sense, showing that there are great Conservatives who are also beloved actors.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

He's so gracious, what a gentlemen

[@Indiansmoke1]

I haven't watched much TV since I was a kid watching the A-Team. Would love to meet him. The A-TEAM is my childhood hero's.

I wish i could have met the A-Team cast it would have been great.Faceman and Murdock were always my favourite characters.

[@RyanGiovincoDesign]

Met him over the weekend at Retrocon. Was shocked to hear him talking about the views he has. I LOVE HIM :)

[@sgtpepper1138]

He seems like a nice enough guy, I don't agree with him politically, but hey, we're all different.

[@freewaywarrior8241]

[@saskia6750]

Dirks well switched on,he`s witnessed the infection thats been spreading through the world ! Great video x

[@xanseviera]

I followed his works since I watched him in The A-Team tv series when I was 9 years old! Please tell him I'm a big fan from Malaysia and I love him so much

[@arame29]

72 years old turned back the clock A great example of macrobiotics

[@marial.rapaglia4041]

saw dirk in a nap on my recliner & very handsome guy he still is!!

[@garfield4108]

What a great guy

[@hlf_coder6272]

I’d love to have a chance to talk to Faceman like that. He seems like a cool guy. Nothing like a modern actor though, that’s for sure. And that’s a compliment

[@kennyronald1886]

God bless you Dirk!

[@defblinders9585]

My childhood. NEVER missed The A-Team or Knight Rider.

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

Me too.Knight Rider is my favourite still is.But the A-Team came a close second

[@SuperNicktendoTime]

i would LOVE to meet Dirk!

[@jordanharris903]

Oooh same here man!

[@lisalee2885]

I actually met him and Toni when they lived in Agua Dulce, Calif. Went to lunch with Toni and went the their home which was very cool. Old wood floors. Counters were made out of old bowling alley floors. The house was like 60/70 years old. Very sweet people 😃🌸😃

[@mirandakathrein7679]

Is it $40 if he autographs an item you bring with you? I'd love to have him sign his A-Team action figure, his Funko pop, his book and a picture I took with him 17 years ago when I first met him in Michigan. He is coming to Illinois in mid-November. It will be my 2nd time meeting him. I love him! He was my first celebrity crush at 10 years old. This sounds pathetic, but I wonder if he would let me record a few seconds of him possibly saying, "I love you, Miranda" or "Face loves you, Miranda." And maybe the line, "I love it when a plan comes together." He will probably think I'm crazy. lol I'm not. I just really adore him. 💜

[@Surgicaldamage]

Glad Dirk is not woke but is awake.

[@steveerickson9847]

Now that’s a Me Too you can get behind 😊👍

[@derekjg1976]

[@s.b.8258]

Oh wow!

[@elamriti]

if you send face to mars he wil find you a pizza !!

[@capdavis2002]

Starbuck get ready for long patrol

[@eterno1610]

Why was he alone, i mean without Dwight Schultz/mr.T?

[@horacepthompkin]

Dude! You snuck in a body cam? I agree with you about the term limits. I don't think people--including myself--realize just HOW separate these career politicians manage to keep themselves from the general populace and how horrified the Founding Fathers would be to see how the modern politician has mangled their original intentions for his office. I think the president should publically call out the GOP congressmen who have made conservative-sounding promises in the past that they obviously had no intention of keeping (there's one of those in my state whom I've called and emailed a few times...). In a recent survey that I received for being a donor to Trump's campaign, I told them to get some of their people to research (it wouldn't take much to find what they need) and compile some quotes from these Congressmen juxtaposing past promises with their decisions today to be read publically by the president.

[@outthere7699]

Has Benedict all his life

[@benny02mb]

Lol, nope stage name

[@liammalcolm]

Nice to chat to Face, but 40 bucks!

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

I would love to meet Dirk.What is he doing now?Is he married?

[@REYKING-Muzic]

Omg that dam r2d2 is so annoying. ... but I love the fun ...

[@thebeehiveclustermovie8195]

Faceman

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

Can't beleive he's 72 here,he looks a lot younger,has he had plastic surgery?

[@steveerickson9847]

Nope. He always had a young face 😊

[@steveerickson9847]

He’s actually 79 now...

[@stevep4574]

Van looks off too silver

[@harcomou8395]

true. It should rather be a dark gray metallic.

[@stevep4574]

@@harcomou8395 My aunt bought me the A team van when I was a kid. Someone stole the Mr T figure inside.

[@ThunderAppeal]

I feel so bad for Dirk, he gets dragged in to garbage like this regularly. Even Shultz went on to do something else which he was able to make a name for himself and put some distance between himself and this wretched show 'the a-team'. As a kid yes, I can understand this series had action with little to no plot and almost entirely episodic, completely single dimensional characters with no development at all, no story arch except for maybe the series finale and that was it. But a HORRIBLE!!! TV series! HORRIBLE!! Even George Peppard knew it. 'Mr. T' was an entitled whiny pre-madonna.
