Default Brad Dourif


For those who may not know who he is, he was in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" as Billy, as well as voicing Chucky in all of the Child's Play films and also has been in the two new recent Halloween movies as Sheriff Lee Brackett.

Great actor. He's an OSCAR nominee yet still underrated. Even though Nicholson steals the show in Cuckoo's Nest, Dourif's performance comes in a close second.

Very underrated, but great no less. I think he's on par, if not better than Nicholson when it comes to acting ability. He really deserved that Oscar, but alas he was snubbed.

One of the best laughs and voices overall in the business. He's awesome.

Hell yes, I just hope that sometime soon he starts getting the recognition he rightfully deserves.

Loved him as Billy and agreed that he deserved an Oscar.Brilliant and very underrated actor.
Can't make a post about Brad without mentiong his role in Lord of the Rings as Grima Wormtongue. He put so much time and effort into a fairly small role.

Lol, strange thought:

How do you all think Dourif would've did if he were the Joker in the '89 movie and not Nicholson?

That'd be interesting, was he up for the role? The studio probably would've saved alot of money casting him, and spent that extra dough on some more production costs or something lol.

As far as I know he wasn't up for the role, but I'd have loved to see it. He likely would've been better in the role than Nicholson, imo.

I think it just depends on the direction he would've taken, really. He may very well have made the flim too dark, but it still would've been interesting to see.

I think he could've been successful in being dark with the character, but not too dark.

C'mon, people, are we seriously going to let a thread for one of the greatest actors of all time fade away?
