Chris MacNeil was a famous actress and single mother who took off to Washington D.C. with her young daughter to shoot a film. Little did she know but her priorities would completely shift from reading lines to pulling a demon out of her daughter. A relative unknown in Hollywood at the time, Ellen Burstyn took on the role of Chris and became part of...
Father Merrin was not only a man of God but also a paleontologist. Working at an excavation site in Iraq, he discovered imagery of an old enemy he once exorcised — the demon Pazuzu — and accidentally unleashed its dark spirit and was ultimately killed by it. Merrin was played by Max von Sydow, who is an all-too-familiar face on film and television....
Assisting Father Merrin in Regan's exorcism, Father (and Jesuit psychiatrist) Damien Karras struggled with his faith, but after seeing the evil of Pazuzu, he was convinced there was a God. Unfortunately, his renewed faith was short-lived. After pulling the demon out of Regan, it jumped into him, causing him to kill himself to prevent further harm t...
Poor tween Regan MacNeil. She played with an Ouija board and got possessed by the demon, which sent her head spinning (literally) and prompted her to projectile vomit disgusting green gunk. Linda Blair's edgy and controversial role, for which she received an Academy Award nod and earned her a Golden Globe, would define the kinds of roles she'd play...
Lieutenant William Kinderman was a happy-go-lucky homicide detective investigating the death of Burke Dennings, the director who was working on Chris' film in D.C. Enlisting Father Karras to provide a religious point of view in the case, Kinderman accurately suspected Regan may have murdered Dennings while possessed by a mysterious entity. As Kinde...
All Sharon Spencer wanted to do was be a good assistant to Chris and a good tutor to Regan. But after the 12-year-old got body-snatched, Sharon ended up being her caretaker — from injecting her with drugs and changing her diapers to being the receiver of her infamous projectile vomit. Sharon was portrayed by Kitty Winn who was memorable for her ear...
As a prominent director, Burke Dennings was working on Chris' film in Washington D.C. when he met his unfortunate fate. After getting drunk at Chris' party and making a scene, he ended up babysitting Regan, who broke his neck while possessed by Pazuzu. The alcoholic Dennings was played by Jack MacGowran, an Irish actor of the stage famous for his c...
A close friend of Father Karras, Father Joseph Dyer was the one to give Karras his Last Rites when the priest threw himself out the window after being possessed by Pazuzu. Interestingly, Father Dyer was played by a real Jesuit priest, Reverend William O'Malley, who was a prolific Catholic book author and high school teacher who directed drama produ...
