Paul smiling creepily in Smile 2
Parker Finn’s Smile 2 expands the terrifying universe established in the hit first film, Smile. Smile 2 has plenty of scary scenes and new tricks up its sleeves to truly horrify its audience, but it also cleverly pays homage to one of the most iconic characters in horror history through the character of Paul Hudson. Smile 2's cast is led by pop star protagonist Skye Riley who, among other things, is being haunted by the death of her boyfriend, Paul Hudson.
Smile 2's Paul Hudson Was Played By Jack Nicholson's Son, Ray Nicholson Smile 2 Cleverly Channels Jack Torrance Close Paul Hudson is portrayed by Ray Nicholson, who is no stranger to Hollywood. Ray is the son of iconic actor Jack Nicholson, renowned for his chilling performance as Jack Torrance in The Shining. The elder Nicholson established the benchmark for portraying a character descending into madness, driven to insanity by an overpowering and malevolent force.
The decision to cast the son of this horror icon was no accident, to say the least. Instead, director Parker Finn’s choice seems almost fated. Ray Nicholson's performance in Smile 2 honors his father’s legacy by ensuring the same uneasy feeling resonates with modern audiences. However, the most striking similarity between father and son, may lie in the creation of the eerie Stanley Kubrick smiles that define the Smile franchise.
