Netflix’s horror thriller Night Teeth follows a chauffeur who is unwittingly dragged into a gory human-vampire battle; here's a guide to the movie's cast and characters. Serving as one of Netflix’s main spooky premieres for 2021, Night Teeth follows in the tracks of notable 2021 vampiric projects like American Horror Story: Red Tide or Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass. Whereas American Horror Story and Midnight Mass featured much more serious tones, Night Teeth chooses a chaotically youthful, action-oriented style.
While several stories overlap, Netflix's Night Teeth primarily follows college student Benny as he subs in for his brother’s freelancing chauffeur job. The night becomes far more dire when Benny’s nightclub-hopping passengers turn out to be centuries-old vampires working for a menacing Los Angeles vampire leader. The vampires take hold of Benny as he now must work with them or risk becoming a snack, though he also faces his older brother who happens to be the leader of the human protectors against the vampire tribes. Once the human-vampire truce is broken by the villainous Victor, Jay decides to hunt down the treacherous undead while Benny simply fights to make it to sunrise alive.
Night Teeth manages to recruit a wide array of up-and-coming stars, established names and award-nominated actors. While the pre-Halloween Netflix horror movie has received primarily negative reviews upon its release, critics still note that much of Night Teeth’s cast still appears to be having fun in the vampire vs. human Los Angeles battle. Here’s a breakdown of Night Teeth’s cast and their corresponding human and vampiric characters.
Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as Benny
Benny is a freelance chauffeur who was hired by young friends Blaire and Zoe to drive them around to various nightclubs in Los Angeles. Blaire and Zoe quickly reveal themselves to be ages-old vampires, and Benny finds himself amid a vampire feud in which he must ally himself with his bloodsucking passengers. Serving as Night Teeth’s human protagonist among the undead, Benny is played by actor Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., who is best known for his recurring MCU role as Peter Parker’s classmate Jason Ionello in the Spider-Man movies. He also notably starred in Love, Simon as Nick Eisner or the Transformers sci-fi action movie Bumblebee as Guillermo “Memo” Gutierrez.
Debby Ryan as Blaire
Arguably best-known for her Disney Channel career, Debby Ryan stars in Netflix’s Night Teeth as Blaire, one of Benny’s vampiric passengers who struggles to keep Zoe calm while having slightly more of a moral compass than her counterpart. Ryan originally came to notoriety for her role in the Disney series Suite Life On Deck, before gaining a more central role as the titular nanny in Jessie. After participating in a few more Disney Channel original movies, Ryan moved over to Netflix where she starred as Patty Bladell in Insatiable (2018-2019). Outside of her acting career, Ryan also is the lead singer of the band The Never Ending.
Lucy Fry as Zoe
Benny's far more menacing vampire passenger in Netflix's 2021 horror movie is Zoe, who is played by vampire-project veteran Lucy Fry. Zoe is far more unhinged and amoral than Blaire with no hesitation in abusing her immortality and causing carnage. Fry is best known for her roles as Zoey in Lightning Point, Lyla in the mermaid series Mako: Island of Secrets, and Lissa Dragomir in Vampire Academy. She also portrayed Marina, wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, in Hulu’s Stephen King miniseries 11.22.63.
Alfie Allen as Victor
Emmy-nominated actor Alfie Allen stars in Night Teeth as Victor, a wealthy vampire leader who is tired of only being able to live in one place. Deciding to cause mayhem, Victor kidnaps Jay’s girlfriend and intentionally breaks the truce between Los Angeles’ humans and vampires. The portrayer of maniacal Victor is English actor Alfie Allen, who is best known for his role as Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones. Allen also starred in Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit as Finkel, The Predator as Lynch, and Harlots as Isaac Pincher. The accomplished actor is also known for being the younger brother of popular English singer Lily Allen.
Raúl Castillo as Jay Perez
Jay Perez is the older brother of Night Teeth’s luckless protagonist Benny, who takes over the driving job that Jay was originally scheduled for. All the while, Jay is hunting Los Angeles’ vampires, particularly Victor, after they have killed his friends and kidnapped his girlfriend. Jay is portrayed by Raúl Castillo whose most notable role is Richie Donado Ventura on the HBO series Looking. Castillo previously starred in We the Animals, Cold Weather, and Netflix’s show Atypical.
Night Teeth Supporting Cast And Characters
Megan Fox as Grace: One of Los Angeles’ notable vampires who serve as Victor’s boss and attempt to punish him for betraying the truce. Fox is notable for playing Mikaela Banes in the Transformers movies and her roles in Jennifer’s Body and the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. Unfortunately, Fox’s heavily promoted Night Teeth role is only a one-scene cameo.
Sydney Sweeney as Eva: Victor’s vampire boss whose partner in managing the vampire-human relations is Sydney Sweeney’s character, Eva. Sweeney is best known for playing Cassie Howard on Euphoria, Olivia Mossbacher on The White Lotus, Eden in The Handmaid’s Tale, and Pippa in The Voyeurs.
Alexander Ludwig as Rocko: A vampire club owner who takes on a Cali surfer vibe and gets into a notable fight with Zoe. Ludwig is notable for his roles as Cato in The Hunger Games, Bjorn Ironside in Vikings, and Ace Spade in Heels.
Marlene Forte as Abuela: The grandmother of Jay and Benny. Before Night Teeth, Forte previously appeared in the TV soap opera Dallas, Knives Out as Marta’s mother, and El Chicano (where she ironically played Raúl Castillo’s mother).
Bryan Batt as Gio: One of the vampire crime bosses who hosts extravagant parties at his mansion. Batt is best known for his successful Broadway career as well as playing Salvatore Romano on Mad Men and Mayor Quinn Maddox on MTV’s show Scream.
