A foreigner who says that the Philippine national language is âTagalogâ may offend politically conscious Filipinos from other parts of the country where Tagalog is not the first language. Cebuano, Kapampangan, Ilocano and such are NOT mere dialects of Tagalog â they are completely distinct LANGUAGES that are very different from each other.
While Chucky (Brad Dourif) and his wife Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) and their child Glen/Glenda (Billy Boyd) are entertaining, the film is really a vehicle for Jennifer Tilly, playing herself, in other words, an exaggerated version of her public persona. And she is incredibly funny and incredibly daring in that role.
As Chuck, O'Herlihy played the basketball jock / older brother of Richie and Joanie (Erin Moran). O'Herlihy is a few months younger than Howard, even though he was cast as his older brother. O'Herlihy's character had few speaking parts and by the middle of the first season â which aired in 1974 â Chuck was written out of the script by going off to college. He never returned.
