The newly released Mindhunter: Season 2 has an unexpected connection to the recent Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Both projects feature actor Damon Herriman playing the role of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
Herriman spoke about the odd coincidence on an episode of the podcast Back to One (via IndieWire). He said that he filmed his role in Mindhunter before appearing in Tarantino’s project. And because the two projects take place several decades apart (Mindhunter in the 1980’s and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 1969), Herriman said the experience was essentially like playing two different characters.
