![]() ![]() That just speaks to how chilling his presence on screen can be, from his unique appearance to his sinister-sounding cackle. Willem Dafoe is another brilliant performer who seems to frequently find himself cast as the bad guy (despite his recent Oscar nomination for playing a kindhearted hotel manager). It’s tough to imagine Hamill not fitting into the role like a glove and that’s the whole idea. There are also a lot of similarities between the two baddies. They’re pretty much 1 and 1A when it comes to top “gleefully menacing” voice-overs. Mark Hamill’s portrayal of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series (and subsequent projects) is just as, if not more iconic than Dourif as Chucky. Plus his voice is singularly recognizable, a trait also applicable to Dourif’s work as Chucky. He can raise hairs with a simple stare or go full-on madman like he did as Zod in Man of Steel.

And though principal photography has wrapped on the upcoming slasher, there has been little to no word on who will be stepping behind the mic to breath life into the newly branded “Buddi” doll.Īllow me, if you’d be so kind, to offer up a few suggestions. Alas, here we are, on the cusp of a total Child’s Play reboot and a new Chucky means a new voice. It’s so good, in fact, that it’s difficult even imagining anyone else in the role. Brad Dourif is a tremendous actor and his work providing the voice of the homicidal doll in the Child’s Play series is nothing short of iconic.
