Brad Douriff
This is a man who has had a very wide and varied career and you've probably seen him a lot more than you think. Most know him (if they recognize the name) as the voice of Chucky, the doll of a franchise of movies, but this actor has been around, been there, done that, and done it well (that's not very good English, is it?).
Early in his career he had a very moving role in the movie One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest as Billy Bibbit, a shy, stuttering inmate playing against Jack Nicholson. That movie by the way was made in a real mental hospital in my home state. Pretty cool.
But he's done so many movies and television shows that to list them all here would take up a lot of space and you can just Google the list for yourself anyway if you're interested. My point is: there are movie stars, and there are those that make a movie interesting or more colorful by just being there. That is Brad.
Whether it's small walk-on roles or larger roles in horror movies or television shows, he just brings a special something that proves that, but for the grace of Hollywood and their love of the picture perfect twenty-something set, he could have been so much more. Not to say he's not much now, he's done, well, just about everything.
Don't think so? Check out his filmography, it's just damned impressive. I would watch anything with him in it, good, bad or meh.
