  • Fall Guy: Chucky, Tiffany and Warren all make him this for their own crimes.
  • Flat Character: The writers didn't give him much characterization other than being an ordinary guy who is being used by Chucky and Tiffany (with the lure of $500 and the likely false promise of another $500) to deliver them to a cemetery where Chucky's human corpse is that contains the Heart Of Damballa.

    Chief Warren Kincaid 
Debut: Bride of Chucky (1998)
Portrayed by: John Ritter

Jade's overbearing uncle, a police chief who despises Jesse and merely tolerates Jade herself.


  • Asshole Victim: He was as Chucky stated, "Screwing with our ride!" and that was before Warren pulled off trying to plant marijuana in the van to get Jesse arrested.
  • Celebrity Paradox: As far the 2021 series is concerned, the It franchise exist in this franchise's universe as mentioned by Devon, as Ritter played Ben Hanscom in It (1990).

  • Everyone Has Standards: For all his misdeeds, all he wants is for his niece to stay out of trouble and date a respectable guy. However, if he hadn’t been so cruel and judgmental towards Jesse — he would’ve realized that Jesse is in fact the kind of man he wants for her.
  • Evil Uncle: Downplayed; Though he’s indeed a massive douchebag, he’s not truly “evil”.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Played with; Warren genuinely thinks he’s acting in Jade’s best interest by meddling in her relationship with someone he’s convinced is bad news, but the excessive lengths he’ll go to with no regard for either teen’s emotional wellbeing is cruel and uncalled for.

Seed of Chucky

    Jennifer Tilly 
Debut: Seed of Chucky (2004)
Portrayed by: Jennifer Tilly

Jennifer Tilly in a parodied version of herself.


  • Accidental Misnaming: Tilly keeps on calling Redman like its his surname, not his stage name. Though she probably thinks that is his real name when she calls him Mr. Man and asks, "May I call you Red?"
  • Acrofatic: She can somehow run around while getting gagged and bounded by Chucky after she gets pregnant.
  • Adam Westing: Tilly plays herself in this franchise as a jerkass Princess in Rags actress who will do anything to maintain her lavish lifestyle in Hollywood as a movie star despite her career being in decline.
  • Asian Rudeness: She treated her assistant Joan poorly and fires her for denigrating Tilly's plans to sleep with Redman to secure a movie role.
  • Big Eater: Joan mentioned that Tilly is supposed to be on a diet though Tilly cheated by using Chucky's pockets as a secret stash for candy bars, and Tiffany while dragging her body complains, "Fuck! She's fat!" Not to mention the amount of food she made on the table just for herself and Redman looks enough to feed a lot more than 2 people.
  • Big Fancy House: Tilly lives in a big Beverly Hills mansion.
  • Break the Haughty: By the end of Seed, she's so traumatized by her experience that she can only break down in tears when the police arrive. And that's not even getting into what the TV series revealed Tiffany did to her after their souls switched.
  • Butt-Monkey: She meets two psycho serial killers stuck inside creepy doll bodies who are squatting at her place, creep up on her, freak her out getting her to scream and run, gets knocked out on the back of her head by Tiffany with her own trophy, impregnated by Tiffany with Chucky's sperm, gets gagged with sheets and bound to the floor by Chucky, tied to her bed with rope (plus Chucky clogs her mouth with some more sheets cause she won't stop screaming) and nearly gets her clothes peeled off and groped by Chucky. The tv series then reveals she has spent the 20 years since then stuck in Tiffany's doll body and trapped in a bird cage by Tiffany.
  • Car Fu: She meets her end by getting ran over by a speeding truck.
  • Damsel in Distress: To the point she constantly screams for someone to save her when Chucky ties her up.
  • Dead Star Walking: Jennifer Tilly As Herself bites it whilst in Tiffany's doll body in the television series.
  • Hypocrite: She accuses Julia Roberts of sleeping with the director to get cast in Erin Brockovich then pulls the exact same stunt with Redman in hopes of getting cast in his film.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As much as she mistreated her assistant Joan, she genuinely did care for her.
  • Ludicrous Gibs: Gets exploded by a speeding truck.
  • Karmic Overkill: As noted below, she gets to experience Joan's job first-hand when it's revealed she has been alive & stuck in the Tiffany doll since Seed. She's been kept in a bird cage to reply to her own fan mail, make money for Tiffany playing online Poker & voicing Bonnie Swanson in Family Guy, as well as writing out checks for Tiffany. One could argue she needed an attitude adjustment when we met her in Seed, but her suffering is way more than what's deserved for someone whose worst crime was being a Diva which she seemed to be coming out of shortly before Tiffany stole her body.
  • Mean Boss: Towards her assistant Joan, at least until Chucky and Tiffany's efforts to impregnate her with Chucky's sperm drives the two women to make up and put their differences aside to survive the killer dolls. It doesn't work.
  • Pet the Dog: Even though the twins she gives birth to are a product of forceful insemination, she still values them as her own children.
  • Princess in Rags: Tiffany at one point mentions that Tilly's career is going downhill and is not getting cast in many roles in movies anymore so now Tilly is so desperate to keep her opulent lifestyle going that she agrees to prostitute herself to Redman for a part in his movie.
  • Screaming Woman: She screams. A lot.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Is not above prostituting herself to get cast in starring roles in movies and claims she doesn't really care what she has to do to make money.
  • Take This Job and Shove It: Tilly complains at the beginning of the movie that she hates where her acting career is headed and would much rather be working on a movie that doesn't involve her playing a woman who marries Chucky the Doll.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Of the fifth film.
  • Weight Woe: She was being forced to go on a diet by Hollywood executives at the start of Seed, but she cheated with candy bars she snuck into Chucky's pockets.

    Stan 
Debut: Seed of Chucky (2004)
Portrayed by: Steve Lawton

Jennifer's limo chauffeur.


  • Flat Character: Doesn't really get much characterization other than being Jennifer Tilly's shy limo chauffeur who always wanted to ask her out on a date but never had the courage to do so.
  • Heroic Suicide: Saves Tilly from getting killed by Chucky.
  • Nice Guy: One of the only nice characters in Seed that takes place in a World of Jerkass.
  • Soul Jar: Because Tiffany gutted Redman, she decides Stan will take his place as Chucky's new body making him Chucky's 5th body target after Andy Barclay, Tyler, Jesse Kincaid and Redman.
  • Taking the Bullet: When Chucky decides to kill Tilly with a knife so that Tiffany can't possess her, Stan takes the bullet right into his chest.

    Joan 
Debut: Seed of Chucky (2004)
Portrayed by: Hannah Spearitt

Jennifer's assistant albeit one who spends more time criticizing Jennifer than assisting her.


  • Ash Face: Upon her death when Glenda burns her.
  • Beleaguered Assistant: Is mostly tasked with writing fake reaction letters to Jennifer Tilly's fanbase and is badly treated (later fired) by Tilly for not agreeing with the latter's plan to prostitute herself for money.
  • Man on Fire: Glenda sets her on fire and she burns to death.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She still attempts to save Jennifer anyways despite the horrible treatment she's gotten from Jennifer. Not that it matters because Chucky and Glenda were going to kill her.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: She is best remembered for merely how she died, but she did activate the alarm system in Tilly's mansion which is what got the police showing up at the mansion and led to the end of the Doll family.

    Redman 
Debut: Seed of Chucky (2004)
Portrayed by: Redman

A drug dealer turned rapper turned filmmaker.


  • Accidental Misnaming: Tilly keeps on calling Redman like it's his surname. It's implied Tilly actually thinks that's his real name by calling him "Mr. Man" at one point.
  • Adam Westing: Redman plays himself, as a rapper turned movie producer and director.
  • Asshole Victim: Tiffany disembowels him as Jennifer ignores his cries for help - let alone she tells him to drop dead for refusing to cast her in his new movie.
  • Break the Cutie: When he fires Jennifer for getting pregnant despite her character role being a pregnant woman.
  • Dead Star Walking: Redman plays himself and ends up part of the body count.
  • Jerkass: He's a self-serving bully towards Jennifer who at first accepted getting sexual services from her so that she gets a role in his movie and then cuts her out for getting pregnant.
