Many of us 90s nostalgists still enjoy binge-watching shows, including the hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The success of Joss Whedon's Monsters (pun intended) spawned an impressive seven seasons, all of which managed to switch between the horror, comedy, action and romance genres. While the show's main character - played by Sarah Michelle Gellar - uses some tricks to take down Sunnydale's demonic bad guys every episode, the show also manages to generate excitement on various levels. resonance. While this earned the series several well-deserved accolades, Buffy's cinematic predecessor did not receive the same praise.
In 1992, the Buffy movie was considered a critical and box office failure. Fortunately, this didn't stop the film from becoming one of the most famous series of the '90s, and thanks to the success of the TV series, the film became a cult classic. Many fans remember the film for starring Kristy Swanson as Buffy Summers and '90s heartthrob Luke Perry as Buffy's love interest Pike (Pike). However, there are several now-familiar faces appearing in the film - including some A-list stars. Some get a lot of screen time, while others make uncredited cameos that are blink-and-you'll-miss-it. Thanks to my love for the movie, and the help of the movie's IMDB page, I was able to pick out some of our favorite actors today who had obscure roles in this cult classic. enjoy!
1. Ben Affleck
Before he became a Hollywood A-lister, Ben Affleck was violently thrown out of a basketball game by a vampire. I don't blame him.
2. Seth Green
Remember Seth Green from the movie "Buffy" ? Of course you don't know! The actor had a very small role in the film, playing an uncredited vampire. Luckily, Green landed a more memorable role in the TV series inspired by the movie, when he was cast as Oz, the lovable werewolf and — simply put — Willow's baby.
3. Hilary Swank
Before she won Oscars and received accolades for films like Million Dollar Baby , Hilary Swank played Buffy's sassy, talkative '90s friend Kimberly.
4. David Arquette
Yes, that's the fanged David Arquette, who plays Oliver Pike's (Perry) best friend Benny.
5. Alexis Arquette
It's a family affair! Arquette's sister Alexis plays an uncredited "vampire DJ" in the film. Sidebar: A career like Vampire DJ should definitely warrant more screen time—right?
6. Rich Lake
The Hairspray star and former talk show host plays Charlotte, a character whose name is not credited.
