A wide-eyed actor with a knack for playing strange characters, Rob Benedict is perhaps best known for playing Keri Russell's peculiar dorm mate Richard on the critically acclaimed series Felicity. Before his days as a professional actor, Benedict graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor's degree in performance studies, and even after he'd achieved a successful career as a working actor, Benedict continued to play guitar for his band, Louden Swain. Benedict's career blossomed throughout the 2000s, with a role in The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest opposite Rosario Dawson, and in Waiting with Ryan Reynolds. In 2007, Benedict took a role on the ABC series Women's Murder Club.
