Ray Nicholson—the son of The Shining star Jack Nicholson—is the perfect addition to the new horror movie Smile 2.
Director Parker Finn said that he “totally” cast Ray as a nod to his father’s iconic 1980 movie, which he said is his “favorite film of all time.”
“Of course, Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors of all time,” Parker told Entertainment Weekly. “I love that Ray has very strong genes, and his smile, instantly, I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s like looking at a young Jack.’”
