Damon Herriman to play Charles Manson for both Quentin Tarantino's 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' and David Fincher's 'Mindhunter'

Having been cast in season 2 of the crime drama by David Fincher, it's a double take villainy for Herriman as he portrays the infamous criminal twice - albeit in different eras. 

It's not completely unheard of for an actor to star in an iconic role in more than one titles - and that's exactly the sweet spot Damon Herriman has found himself in.

The Australian hunk, who was recently confirmed for Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' - to star as the on-screen iteration of Charles Manson - will be portraying the infamous role in not just the Hollywood film but an acclaimed TV series as well - Netflix's 'Mindhunter'. Reported to have been cast in the second season of the crime drama by David Fincher himself, it's a double take villainy for Herriman as he portrays the infamous criminal twice - albeit in different eras.
