Many movies and TV shows have had "Into The Night" in them. The most recent movie: "The Two Mr. Kissels" and the most recent TV show: "Breaking Bad".
Unfortunately, Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez was not and is not an actual person. It was just a prop for the 1993 movie "The Sandlot". For a very long time, I, myself thought Benjamin "Benny" "The Jet" Rodriguez was real. But, then I found out he wasn't real. But I still call myself Mrs. Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez! The Jet stole home!!
Benny has lived many places. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and was raised in Savage, Maryland. He lived in NYC for a long time and has also lived in Baldwinsville, Camillus and Woodstock, NY. He currently resides in Playa del Rey, California.

Benny's real name is Romeo Miller. I think he's listed as Lil' Romeo in the credits, though.
