From a technician who only returns to his small room every day, Benji has now become an agent who can risk his own life on the battlefield, just as Simon Pegg describes his character: “Up to this point, Benji has saved the world several times and also missed those times. Benji is doing his best because the IMF is his life.”
In Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Benji left the audience with some unforgettable lines, such as “I’m jumping out the window!” or “Are you kidding me!”. Meanwhile, the scene where this character was captured and tortured with a bomb strapped to his chest made viewers extremely emotional. Making the audience laugh or cry because of the same character is not easy, while Simon Pegg brings it very natural.
