Rest in Peace, unfortunately I only know him for his voice work, I'm sure he'll be missed by many.

As a kid, we used to watch Benson during dinner on a little black and white tv in the kitchen.
RIP Robert, thank you for the memories.

It's nice he got to go peacefully at a good age surrounded by his family.

For some reason I thought this happened years ago, but it turns out I was thinking about Robert Culp (voice of Dr. Breen). Rest in peace.

He died ten years and 14 days after his character died in Episode 2, weird coincidence.

Yup same here never occurred to me that Benson and Eli was played by same actore. LIke many others I knew him first and for most as Benson. Damn he was a cool dude in everything he starred in. Damn good innings though at 89 and he had a full life.

I will miss him. Eli Vance character was perfectly made for his voice to be used, but I never thought is the voice of Rafiki from Lion King too. That's amazing.
Now what we are going to do with HL3. Even if
, to bring back him as memory into the story you still need new lines with his voice. Gaaabe....

Blows my mind how he just looks exactly like Eli.
Well, it's not that mindblowing i guess. Half Life 2 had some good faces, even today
