Robbie Benson really embodied the Beast with his voice and his charm. Every time I hear it, it's so nostalgic. It can be both scary when he's angry and both romantic when he's kind and gentle. This dude is a quality voice actor as well as an actor.

One of the reason Beauty and the Beat is my favorite fairytale is because of him and that stunning voice of his. I can't help but also think they patterned the beast's eyes after Robbie's own eyes. His eyes are these beautiful light blue.
