Charles Lee Ray, or Chucky for short is a fictional character from the Child's Play series of horror films. He is the primary villain featured in the series. Chucky is a doll that was possessed by means of voodoo magic by serial killer Charles Lee Ray, the notorious Lakeshore Strangler. During most of his time as a doll, Chucky chased after a boy named Andy Barclay because Andy was the first person he told his real name to as a doll. Brad Dourif has voiced the character in all of the films (he also appears at the beginning of the first film and in subsequent flashbacks).
