When it comes to some of the most classic horror flicks, it goes without saying that Chucky is certainly a top contender for the scariest character. The overalls, red hair, and striped tee first came about back in 1988 in Child's Play, which marks the first of eight films that the murderous doll has appeared in.
While many fans debate whether or not the 2019 remake counts as part of the canon considering screenwriter Don Mancini was not involved, that doesn't change the notoriety behind the franchise. Over the course of Chucky's on-screen reign, there have been an array of actors behind the voice that has sent chills down many spines, most of which have appeared alongside Jennifer Tilley, but who exactly are the faces of the famed horror doll? Let's find out!
Brad Dourif Voiced Chucky In 'Child's Play'
When it comes to the Child's Play franchise, it was none other than Brad Dourif who took on the role of Chucky for the first few films. Dourif definitely managed to portray Chucky as creepily as possible and considering the fear that is still instilled amongst viewers from the original 1988 film is very much alive, it's clear he did a stellar job.
The actor is also no stranger to voicing horror characters, as he's also portrayed the Gemini Killer in The Exorcist III back in 1990, and his portrayals in Death Machine (1994), and Alien Resurrection (1997). Luckily for hardcore Chucky fans, Brad Dourif will be reprising his role of Chucky, voicing the doll in the upcoming SyFy television series alongside Jennifer Tilly.
Billy Boyd Took On The Role In 'Seed Of Chucky'
When Seed Of Chucky was announced, fans were fascinated with who would be playing the spawn of the horror character and turns out, it was Scottish actor Billy Boyd! While Boyd is mostly known for his role in The Lord Of The Rings, diehard Chucky fans know him for voicing Glen and Glenda alongside Dourif and Tilly.
Although the actor didn't necessarily play Chucky himself, his iconic portrayal of Glen/Glenda is one that fans will forever remember. While this was his sole role in the Child's Play franchise, Billy Boyd reprised the voice of Glen in Chucky's Family Vacation back in 2004.
Mark Hamill Voiced Chucky In The Remake
Mark Hamill is no stranger to the limelight! The star has been part of two major series that fans know and love him for, one of which was animated, and the other, a live-action. While his resume speaks for itself, Hamill is now adding yet another iconic role to his roster of iconic character portrayals.
Although he'll always be known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the film series, Star Wars, Chucky fans will certainly remember him for his voicing of Chucky in the hit film's 2019 remake, Child's Play. Mark was personally approached by the film's director, Lars Klevberg regarding the reboot, and it was an easy decision to make from there.
Mark Hamill shared how, "He [Lars] already laid out his vision for the film, before I read it. And then they sent me this script and I thought the crucial element that was different from the original, which I love," the actor said, and the rest is history!
