Its very interesting looking at that black and white picture of him in the 80s! He looks just like the lead character of the Chucky show who is also gay, you guys reckon it's low key based on himself growing up and that's why he cast someone who looked like him or just a coincidence?

It is. It’s been discussed. It’s definitely based on himself as a gay kid. And you’re spot on in regards to the resemblance. Excellent casting!

Its uncanny! I love this guy, Ive loved Chucky my whole life, I never thought Chucky could be a good tv show because well I didn't think it could be violent or obscene enough and I didn't think their could be a an episodic story arc for the franchise

He proved me so god damn wrong and I'm happy about it

I had a good feeling about it after he returned for the franchise with the last two direct-to-dvd movies. Mancini had a successful run with the “Hannibal” tv series, so I knew he would deliver.
