Butler Benson DuBois is the smartest (and possibly only sane) member of widowed Gov. Eugene Gatling’s household staff. Benson always manages to keep his head, no matter what the staffers or the governor’s family members throw at him. He begins his post on loan from his employer, Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond), on the show “Soap,” but soon wins a permanent place in the governor’s staff and heart. His relaxed head and sharp mentality are a perfect complement for the constant craziness that surrounds Gov. Gatling and his followers.
