Mitch (Benji)

Mitch is the main antagonist of Joe Camp's first film Benji, and possibly its upcoming remake by Brandon Camp.

He was portrayed by Mark Slade.

Role
When Henry and Riley realize that their putting cup is missing, Mitch decides that the abandoned house will be their hideout.

They later break in and bring a kidnapped Paul and Cindy into the house. Benji rushes to "tell" Dr. Chapman and Mary of the kids' whereabouts but is shooed out by Mary, naturally not understanding the message Benji is trying to convey. Determined, Benji grabs the ransom note that Dr. Chapman had been showing to the police — but it gets taken from him, leaving him at a loss at what to do.

Benji grabs the crumpled note and tries to flee but is grabbed by Mitch. Tiffany rushes out and bites Mitch on the shin, but gets a vicious kick in return that severely injures her.

Benji races back to the Chapmans. Linda, who Benji knows has another copy of the ransom note in her purse, beats him there. As Dr. Chapman makes small talk with Linda (who seems to be friends with the Chapmans), Benji notices the purse which Linda dangles close to the floor. He attempts to grab it, but Mary starts to take him outside. Benji bites her, freeing himself, and snatches the purse, spilling its contents. They find the ransom note. Dr. Chapman confronts Linda and she bursts into tears, knowing she's about to be defeated.

The police then follow Benji on foot to the kidnappers and arrive just in time before the kidnappers move out to a safer place, who then get arrested as they leave the house with Paul and Cindy in tow.
