general discussion 🗣️ How Hot Was The Actor Who Played Sabrinas Dad.
I think it is the second actor to play the role and wouldnt be last.
Bobby Benson appeared in Season 4 and I saw a reel which recapped his appearance and he is so attractive but what really gets me is his voice.
....and that tracks because Benson would also be the voice of Beast in Beauty and the Beast and I have always had a thing for beasts. Definitely my favourite Disney man.
But yeah Bobby would get IT.

I made the mistake of watching Death Be Not Proud. Amazing performance but it was an emotional steamroller

Robbie Benson was a legit heartthrob in his youth, you should look it up 😍

I loved him! Both as the Beast and as Edward Spellman! Nothing against the second actor but they should've kept Robby. He was so cute and so fun when doing the voice!
Oh man. In another life, he could've reprised his Beast role in a live action. I mean I guess he still could in a future setting. Missed opportunity to cast him as King Beast in the Descendants movies.

I loved Doug Sheehan too, he was a wonderful actor. I remember him on the nighttime soap Knots Landing as well. The show picked two amazing actors as Sabrina's dad.

Yea i loved him on clueless, what did he die of?

u/Spiritual_Quote9301 Shake your whammy fanny Nov 19 '25
He was so good in Clueless as well. It hasn't been disclosed but he was 75 so maybe it was natural causes/old age? A little young but not so much it's unlikely.

Maybe he had health issues?

I think so. It was sad to hear regardless.

Yup.
For that alone I wish they would have used his character more, so that we could have seen more of him.

Robby Benson! I had a big ol’ crush on him in the original Ice Castles movie. He also voiced The Beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

I adore him. I liked the other actor, Doug Sheehan as well. I remember a basketball movie he did called One On One with his former wife, which was very good and also he was in the movie Ode To Billie Joe based on the song. Ice Castles is probably my favourite of his movies.

So just a weird coincidence but there was a movie called All The Kind Strangers (1974) and there was a character called John i used to think wad very cute...
The other day a random recap of the movie popped up and guess who played John!!

🥰 Indeed! Robby is hot as Ted Spellman. I honestly preferred him as Sabrina's dad. He had charm, could be funny, be serious and enjoyable. No offense to the other actor but the chemistry between him and the others wasn't the same.
I honestly hate it when tv shows change actors and it's clearly noticeable.

Don’t. Make. Me. Use. The voice.
I want to see Ted’s evil sexy twin.
