The Role: Amber Benson was a recurring character in the 4th and 5th seasons, before being bumped up to the main cast for season 6. She was the good-natured girlfriend of Willow, introducing her more into the world of magic, and her tragic death (damn you, Warren!) was the catalyst for 'dark Willow'. 

Where Is She Now? Benson has been working both in-front of and behind the camera since starting on Buffy, having made her directorial debut with Chance back in 2002 (which she also wrote), and has directed a couple of shorts and the TV movie Ghosts of Albion: Legacy since it ended. 

More recently she made a couple of appearances on the TV series Supernatural, and starred in the web-series Morganville: The TV Series, playing the vampire Amelie. Later this year she'll be in Selling Isobel, and reunited with fellow Buffy alumnus Charisma Carpenter in The Griddle House, although details on both are pretty scarce.
