Tarantino Casts Charles Manson’s Character In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

We’ve been talking about Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood for a while now.
The cast list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood’s biggest and brightest, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Roby, Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Damien Lewis, Emile Hirsh, Luke Perry, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins Jr., Keith Jackson, Al Pacino, Nicholas Hammond.
One key role has gone unannounced, the actor playing the role of murderous cult leader Charles Manson. Well, we are happy to report that the character will be played by actor Damon Herriman, which has been confirmed by his PR company October Coast.
