Benny Jacks (portrayed by David Arquette) is a minor character in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer film. He was a friend of Pike and something of a delinquent. He encountered Buffy Summers at a movie theater where she and her friends kept talking through the movie, much to his annoyance.
Two nights later, Benny and Pike got drunk up on a clifftop. There, Benny was attacked by the vampire Amilyn, who fed upon him. This resulted in Benny being turned into a vampire, as well. After turning, he approached Pike at his apartment, levitating outside the window and asking to be invited in since he was hungry. As a vampire, he couldn't enter someone's home unless invited inside, but Pike, in his hungover state, barely comprehended what was happening and told Benny to leave.
Benny would later attack Pike and attempt to convince him to willingly allow himself to be turned. During the vampire attack on Hemery High School, Pike would stake Benny through the heart and kill him permanently.
