Welcome to Dirk Benedict Central – the only OFFICIAL website for news and information about Dirk Benedict. Learn where and when he will next appear, any upcoming projects, etc.
We also talk about his many roles (including Starbuck and the Faceman), about Macrobiotics – basically all things Dirk Benedict, and more; we are a community of friends, people who initially came together to celebrate Dirk, his career, and his books, but who discovered that we have much more in common.
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! You can also read some really great conversations we’ve had in the past in the old “Dirk’s Works” message board. If you’d like to join us in our current discussions, head over to our Facebook page or Twitter account and let’s talk!
If you are an event promoter and would like to invite Dirk Benedict to appear at your event, please email me at “webmaster at dirkbenedictcentral dot com” (I spell it out like that to confuse the spambots…), and I will forward your request along.
John Pickard, 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.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS
A few items we need you to know:
**6/18/2924: To our European friends, I am beyond pleased to announce that October 13-14, 2024, in Amsterdam, Holland, Dirk will appear at the Comic Con there! The ink on the agreement wasn’t even dry before they started posting about it, too… That’s cool with me, though, really. And to be perfectly honest, I was delighted to hear the news, too. I know how much Dirk loves his fans and was hoping against hope that he’d connect with an event or two on that side of The Pond to see his European fans soon. And this October is soon! Links are on the “Coming Appearances” page with everything you need to know. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet him! -John
**1/29/2024: Well, I hate being the bearer of bad news, but the March 1 appearance in LA has been taken off of the calendar. I don’t know the whys or wherefores, but something in the process broke… We’re disappointed. We’re a month out, so there’s always the possibility that it could get fixed, but as of right now he isn’t going to be at The Hollywood Show. I will keep you posted. -John
**1/4/2024: Happy New Year! This really should be dated yesterday, but I ran out of time and there you go… But we learned yesterday that Dirk has agreed to a new appearance between Albuquerque Comic Con in 3 weeks, and the Fargo Pop Expo in April. The Hollywood Show – which is a pretty big deal – happens March 1 and 2 and has a list of celebrities as long as my arm – including some of Dirk’s co-stars! And yes, this is so fresh not even The Hollywood Show has him on their website yet! Check out the Upcoming Appearances page for more details and a link to their site – where you can get a room at the hotel at a special discounted rate. Happy New Year, indeed! -John
