Sawa has played multiple characters in the Chucky series streaming on Peacock, each a tentpole of the seasonal location: a pair of twins in a small town in New Jersey, a priest in a church that Chucky brought chaos to, and even the President of the United States in the White House.

Get ready to fall in love with Toothless all over again. #HowToTrainYourDragon is an exceedingly faithful adaptation that brings the classic story and world to life. All of the dragons look absolutely incredible, and the movie cleverly does more to flesh out the characters. https://t.co/QvIA9cJYEZ
