Seth Green Reminisces as Buffy Reboot Adds New Cast with Seth Green

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot pilot has added five series regulars to its cast, including Sarah Bock, Jack Cutmore-Scott, Faly Rakotohavana, Ava Jean, and Daniel di Tomasso, who join Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the new slayer role, while Seth Green reflects on his breakout role in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait.

The new cast members will be part of a reimagined version of the original series, which was created by Joss Whedon and aired from 1997 to 2003. The pilot was written by Nora and Lila Zuckerman and will be directed by Chloé Zhao, with production by 20th Television and Searchlight Television. Meanwhile, Seth Green, who starred in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait, looks back on his character Kenny Fisher, a nerdy high-school virgin obsessed with hip-hop culture, as a breakout role that has become a fan favorite.

Green's portrayal of Kenny has become iconic, with the character's image of voluminous jeans and ski goggles enduring in popular culture. The film's success, which brought in $25 million at the box office, has made Kenny a beloved character, and Green's performance is often cited as one of the reasons for the film's enduring popularity. The Buffy reboot, on the other hand, aims to bring a new take on the original series, with a new slayer and a fresh cast of characters.

As the Buffy reboot moves forward with its new cast and crew, Seth Green's reflections on his breakout role serve as a reminder of the power of iconic characters and performances in shaping popular culture. The success of Can't Hardly Wait and the enduring popularity of Buffy the Vampire Slayer demonstrate the lasting impact of well-crafted stories and characters on audiences.
