Every Major Buffy Actor That Appeared On Supernatural

Rob Benedict may not have had a significant role on "Buffy," but his character is more than infamous on "Supernatural." Benedict played a vampire named Jape in an episode called "Superstar" in the Slayer series' fourth season. Though Benedict is listed in the later episode "New Moon Rising," Jape doesn't actually show up in the final cut of that episode. As is often the case for "Buffy" vampires, Jape is a minion of a greater threat: Adam. Fans might remember Adam as Maggie Walsh's pet demon and android project that goes on a killing spree during Buffy's first year in college.

Of course, Benedict's role in "Supernatural" is a much more confusing journey. Benedict enters "Supernatural" Season 4 as Chuck, a chaotically lovable train wreck prophet who loves booze just as much as he loves the ladies. In one of the show's most meta storylines, he pens the in-universe "Supernatural" books under the name Carver Edlund — a mashup of real "Supernatural" writers Jeremy Carver and Ben Edlund. Chuck's winning fandom moments include going to conventions and hooking up with his biggest fan. By the way, he's also God. Yes, that God.

Though Chuck's first departure from the show in Season 5 heavily implies that he just might be God as he narrates Eric Kripke's swan song from the show, it isn't solidified until much later. And even then, the brothers toggle back and forth between Chuck being an absent God or the vilest villain they've faced yet. In the final season, we realize it's the latter. Chuck has been creating, destroying, and toying with dozens of universes out of boredom, just like a kid killing ants with a magnifying glass. That is until Sam, Dean, and their pseudo son Jack strip him of his power toward the ending of "Supernatural."
