I was just going through old movie actor lists and something I didn't know pop out and I found it kind of interesting. The actor who played the live Charles Lee Ray as well as provided the voice of Chucky in all the Child's Play/Chucky movies is man named Brad Douriff. I just found out that one of his first acting roles was in the 1975 movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. He played Billy Bibbit, probably best known as the young inmate who kills himself   Quote Disable Sigs  |

I've already known about this.
Billy Bibbit (Brad's character) was a gentleman compared to Charles Lee Ray. "Magic can happen to you."

oh yeah, two very contrasting characters. We had to watch One flew over the cuckoo's nest in high school. with all the different appearances of actors who became big names in their own right. I didn't realize that one of them was Chucky.

In Cult of Chucky, Chucky actually referred to the mental hospital as a "cuckoo's nest".
I love a good reference. "Magic can happen to you."

My brother in law told me about ten years ago the story of Robert The Doll. It's quite fascinating and the doll itself is in a museum in Key West. I saw that it's possible Chucky was inspired from that story. I'm not sure if it's true, but i'd not be surprised.
For those that don't know about Robert: |

I always compared it to Magic (even though the dummy in that film is not actually sentient). You could even go back to the old Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll" for such inspiration. You love this signature.

Brad Douriff was also the doctor in Deadwood.
The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.
