Rob Benedict(I)

Rob is a stroke survivor - In Oct 2013, Rob has suffered a stroke during a Supernatural Convention in Toronto. He was in danger of losing his life but a quick action by his close friend Richard Speight Jr and convention volunteers saved his life. Throughout the following year, Rob made a miraculous recovery and regained all functions, especially the ability to sing. His triumphs and experiences as a survivor is recorded in lyrics on the album "Sky Alive" (2014) by his band Louden Swain, as well as in the anthology "Family Don't End With Blood: Cast and Fans on How Supernatural Has Changed Lives" (2017) where he recounts his stroke and the following events. Along with his friend actor/director Richard Speight Jr, Rob established a t-shirt campaign called 'Getting By With a Little Help' where a portion of the proceeds were donated to the National Stroke Association (2016).
