Banny Passerini is a character in the Bread's Crumbs Cinematic Universe, initially serving as an antagonist and later a protagonist. He is portrayed by Ryan Grier. The son of Biscuit Savage, Banny sought to follow in his father's footsteps and join the U.B.N.V.A.. However, he was unaware that the group's leader, Nazi Mitch, had betrayed his father. During the conflict between the Bacchus Brotherhood and The Clan, Banny tried taking The Crumbs, but was convinced by Vin to turn against Mitch. Banny later aids The Clan in defeating him.

Banny became an honorary member of The Clan, and officially joined the team when it was reformed by John Bacchus. Banny went to Portugal with Vin and Bjorn Alvarez, where they met with Kosta Brando. When Bjorn betrayed the group and shot Kosta, Banny went after him and a fight broke out. Bjorn would gain the upper hand and violently stab Banny to death, but he was avenged when Vin killed Bjorn.

For three years, Banny resided in The Crumbs' afterlife, until he was resurrected alongside countless other beings and fought in the final battle against Tremzar's clones. Joined by his father and Glen Tennis, Banny battled a clone at Mekron Woods before traveling to Torture Wobbler Church to watch his father fight Tremzar. Banny was teleported into Bacchus's final army, and helped restrain Tremzar long enough for Kaine to destroy The Crumbs. Like other members of The Clan, Banny went on to pursue new journeys, and enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with his father, Glen and other friends.

History

As the son of the notorious Biscuit Savage, Banny sought to follow in his father's footsteps as a member of the U.B.N.V.A.. As he grew very fond of the organization, one of the group's leading members, Nazi Mitch, betrayed Banny's father and nearly killed him. However, Banny was unaware of this, and was fooled into thinking The Clan killed his father. Nazi Mitch used this lie to further Banny's loyalty to the U.B.N.V.A. 

Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo

During his father's quest to battle The Clan and seize The Crumbs, which he didn't participate in, Banny made an uncredited cameo in the U.B.N.V.A.'s computer room sitting next to Bread Nelson. 

Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam

After Bread Nelson condemned Nazi Mitch, Mitch sent out Banny to attack The Clan at Kerr Park. While there, Banny confronted Vin Diesel and Kick, who had The Crumbs. Banny denounced them for causing his father's death, which Vin casually joked about; he cared little for Savage considering he killed one of their own. John Bacchus arrives at the scene with several of his comrades, and Banny calls him a dirty cheater and a killer. As Bacchus pretends to cry, Rasputin arrives with Flynt Coal, who is possessed by the alien Tea-Eee. The Clan and Bacchus' Brotherhood battle Flynt, while Rasputin and Banny watch from the side. 

During the ensuing conflict, Banny tries to intervene, but is struck down by Flynt. Vin takes the opportunity to tell Banny that they didn't kill his father, and that Nazi Mitch was responsible. Initially, Banny doesn't believe Vin, but Vin ultimately gains his trust. After Flynt claims The Crumbs and the spear, he runs off with Rasputin. Bacchus goes in pursuit with his team, but by this point he's lost their trust. The Clan, on the other hand, has found a new ally with Banny Passerini, who departs with Vin and Kick. 

After Nazi Mitch harnesses The Crumbs's power, he teleports all his enemies from near and far to an overhangar, including Banny. While there, Banny is reunited with his father, who he long believed was dead. Nazi Mitch approaches the group and electrocutes them with lightning bolts.  The Clan is helpless to resist, until Tyresius uses the power of The Crumbs against Mitch. Banny helps The Clan and the Bacchus Brotherhood as they unite against Mitch, turning The Crumbs's power against him - ultimately, Mitch is killed by the excessive power. 

Unlike the other protagonists, Banny is never seen following the final battle, although it was confirmed he survived. He later became a member of The Clan, ending his allegiance to the U.B.N.V.A.

The Two Man Trio

Banny does not appear in the film; he is only mentioned.

While sitting on the side of a road, Flynt and Vin discuss recent events, and at one point Vin remarks that negotiating is what he does best. In response, Flynt reminds Vin that he reminded Banny how his father blew up, and then joked about it with Bacchus. Vin justifies this, stating that he then convinced Banny to fight with The Clan.

Bread's Crumbs 4: Mass Consumption

Banny reunited with his friends when Bacchus brought The Clan back together. He was promptly sent on a mission to Portugal, alongside Vin and Bjorn Alvarez, to gather intel from Kosta Brando about the demise of Corporal Crunch. The trio met Kosta at his pawnshop, where Kosta brought them up to speed on recent events - including the origins of the newfound Doomsday Device. During the conversation, Bjorn turned on his friends and held them at gunpoint. After seemingly killing Kosta and stunning Vin, he threatened Banny and stormed off to find the device.

Banny followed Bjorn to a nearby field, where they fought one another. Banny proved to be a strong opponent, physically overwhelming Bjorn in the fight - yet Bjorn's viciousness and agility would ultimately give him an upper hand. After slashing Banny's arm with his sword, Bjorn brutally stabbed him to death. Banny was avenged moments later, when Vin fought and killed Bjorn himself. As confirmed by Flynt, Banny was buried with his father.

Trivia

• Banny Passerini makes a brief cameo in Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo, as he sits next to Bread Nelson during his cameo in the U.B.N.V.A. computer room. At the time, Ryan Grier was not officially part of the series yet. A year later, he would be cast as a villain in Scrub Slam, although this wasn't planned during the second film's production - making his cameo a helpful coincidence. 
• Banny's first name is a reference to the character Benny from the 1994 film, The Professional. In one iconic scene, Stansfield (the film's main antagonist, portrayed by Gary Oldman), mispronounces Benny's name as "Banny" while asking him to call in backup.
