Who to Follow: Robert Guillaume (Twitter), "Emmy Award-winning actor best known for iconic roles as Benson, Phantom of the Opera and voice of Rafiki in The Lion King. Author, Father, Friend"
Claim to Fame: These days, Robert Guillaume is probably best known to the younger generation for his work as the voice of Rafiki in the Disney classic, The Lion King. But that is far from the only place in life where he has had success. His career started on stage, but in the 1970s, he was all over TV guest starring at least one on almost all of the classic Norman Lear series. It was 1977 when he got a small role on the ABC series Soap, but that small role became larger and larger, and eventually he could no longer be contained as a character on a series that wasn't about him, so he got a spinoff, Benson. In the late 90s, he appeared on the ABC series SportsNight, and even now as he gets closer to age 90, he hasn't quite retired yet.

ABC Family is not making any other changes to its line-up besides these two hours. Dawson's Creek has been on cable before like on TBS and The N (now called TeenNick), while Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been on multiple networks recently (like FX, Pivot and Logo).

Dawson's Creek of course aired from 1998-2003 on The WB and starred James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams.
