A

(played by Alex Vincent and Justin Whalin) - The original protagonist who is pursued by Chucky so Chucky would transfer his soul into the boy's body, as well as successfully framing him for the murders. He appears in the first three films and Curse of Chucky.

Dr. Ardmore

(played by Jack Colvin) - Andy Barclay's psychiatrist. Andy was placed in his care after in the original. Chucky sneaks into the asylum that holds Andy and kills him in the pursuit. Dr. Ardmore is killed with electric shock to the head. Appears in Child's Play.

B

(played by Travis Fine) - one of Andy Braclay's superior officers at Kent Military Camp. He would often use his power to humiliate Andy in front of the other cadets. He is killed by Chucky when paintball rounds are switched for live rounds. Appears in Child's Play 3.

C

(played by Brad Dourif) - The central character and antagonist of the series. A merciless murderer whose soul gets stuck in a doll. He usually kills 'anyone' who gets in his way with a knife and frames the person of each film for them. Aside from being a deranged killer, he often spouts humorous yet profane insults. He is the only character to appear in all of the films in the franchise.

D

David Collins

(played by Gordon Michael Woolvett) - friend of Jesse and Jade. David is inadvertently killed by Chucky and Tiffany when they reveal themselves. David runs onto the freeway in a panic and is killed by a passing semi. Appears in Bride of Chucky.

E

Eddie Caputo

(played by Neil Giuntoli) - Chucky's original partner in crime. Eddie was a friend of Chucky's while he was still a human. Eddie abandons Chucky during a chase with Chicago police, ultimately leading to his capture and Chucky's death. Before he died, Chucky vowed to get revenge on him and returns to his house in doll-form. Eddie is killed when his house is filled with gas and explodes. Appears in Child's Play.

G

Glen

(played by Billy Boyd and human form portrayed by Beans Balawi) - Chucky and Tiffany's original child and Glenda's twin brother. He was an orphan for the first five or six years of his life until he saw his parents on television. Glen is a good person, and he doesn't like violence and definitely does not like murder unlike his parents. Though Tiffany promised him that they will refrain from killing, Chucky tries to get Glen involved in the family business. He fears but still loves his dad due to the fact he killed him in a misunderstanding. He is the only living doll character not to be voiced by an Academy Award nominee. Appears in Bride (at the end as an infant) and Seed. He does not appear in Curse, nor is there any mention of him.

Glenda

(human form played by Kristina Hewitt) - Chucky and Tiffany's second child and the twin sister of Glen. She was originally Glen's alter ego for a brief moment, but was reborn as a human. Unlike Glen, she is violent, sadistic, and cruel. She is even more ruthless than her father, implying she possibly will take on the family business. Appears in Seed.

Grace Poole

(played by Grace Zabriskie) - a social worker in charge of the group home which houses Andy. Chucky comes to the group home in pursuit of Andy and kills Grace with several stab wounds to the heart. Appears in Child's Play 2.

In the beginning of the first film, he was mostly the cop who drove Mike's car to chase Eddie Caputo in his van. He was also one of the police officers that believed Andy was the killer. During the end, he tried to show Mike that Chucky wasn't alive, but was nearly killed by him and then he believed that the Barclays and Mike were telling the truth. He only appeared in the first film and has a face similar to that of the popular Nintendo video game character, Mario.

Jade

She also appears with Jesse in another struggle with Chucky in a comic book continuation. Appears in Bride of Chucky.

(played by herself) - An exaggerated version of Tilly, herself, and Tiffany's idol. Appears in Bride in the role of Tiffany (both human and doll forms), and in Seed as both herself and the voice of Tiffany. Tiffany was successful in transferring her soul into Tilly's body.
