Andy Barclay

Andrew "Andy" Barclay is a fictional character created by Don Mancini, and the main protagonist of the Child's Play franchise. He first appeared in 1988's Child's Play and has gone on to be featured in multiple subsequent installments. Andy Barclay has been portrayed by actors Alex Vincent and Justin Whalin in the original series.

In the films, Andy is frequently a target of Chucky the killer doll, who wishes to take over his body using voodoo magic.

A different version of Barclay was portrayed by Gabriel Bateman in the 2019 reboot of Child's Play.

On his sixth birthday, Andy is gifted a Good Guy brand talking doll named "Chucky" by his mother Karen. Unbeknownst to both the two, the doll was possessed by serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who transferred his soul into it using voodoo. That night, Karen's best friend Maggie is murdered by Chucky. Investigating officer Mike Norris believes Andy may have been involved in Maggie's death.

The next day, Chucky convinces Andy to take him to his former accomplice Eddie Caputo's house. Chucky kills Caputo, and Andy is institutionalized under suspicion of the murders. Chucky comes to find Andy, hoping to transfer his soul into the boy. Andy manages to escape while Chucky kills his doctor. Andy flees home where Chucky knocks him out. Karen and Detective Norris, who have come to learn that the doll is alive, arrive and manage to save Andy. Together, the three finally kill the doll by burning and shooting it.

Two years after the previous film, Karen Barclay is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation after telling authorities that Chucky was alive. Andy is sent to live with foster parents Phil and Joanne Simpson; he also meets his new foster sister Kyle. Chucky is inadvertently revived and tries to track Andy down once again, infiltrating the Simpson household.

Chucky eventually reveals himself to Andy, and kills several people around him, including his teacher Miss Kettlewell, along with Phil and Joanne. Kyle and Andy eventually manage to overpower and kill Chucky at the Good Guy doll factory, mutilating him, covering him in molten plastic and finally blowing his head apart with an air-hose.

Eight years later, a now 16-year-old Andy is sent to the Kent Military School. Andy befriends several fellow cadets, including the cowardly Whitehurst, a young boy named Tyler, and a beautiful cadet named De Silva, who develops romantic feelings for him.
