Mancini was also inspired by the L...

It’s unknown why she was chosen, but it was like...
Tom Holland is mainly known for his work in the horror genre and actually has more acting credits to his name than directing credits. Tom Holland also appears in Child’s Play… sort of. Holland has two cameo roles of sorts, one being the host of the Good Guys program, but you can only hear his voice. Andy Barclay’s dad isn’t present in the movie, bu...
