Unlike his fellow “Brit Pack” contemporaries like Colin Firth, Tim Roth, and Gary Oldman, all regular faces on talk shows, the three-time Oscar winner rarely gives interviews.

‘Child’s Play’ Behind-The-Scenes Video Shows How They Brought The New Chucky To Life I’m trying to remain cautiously optimistic about the newChild’s Play. As a fan of the original franchise, I was initially against this remake. But the casting, and the footage from the two trailers, have turned me around a bit.
