Matthew Lyn Lillard (born January 24, 1970) is an American actor, director, and producer. His early film roles include the black comedy Serial Mom (1994) and the crime thriller Hackers (1995). He achieved a career breakthrough for his portrayal of Stu Macher in the slasher film Scream (1996), which bolstered Lillard into the mainstream as a scream king. Afterwards, he starred in prominent roles in SLC Punk! (1998), She's All That (1999), Thirteen Ghosts (2001), and Without a Paddle (2004). He portrayed Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the live-action movies Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), and then later voiced the character in several animated releases, serving as the voice of Shaggy since Casey Kasem retired from the role in 2009. Starting in the 2010s, Lillard was more frequently cast in dramatic roles, in films such as The Descendants (2011), Trouble with the Curve (2012), Match (2014), and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). He also starred in the NBC series Good Girls (2018–2021). Lillard gained renewed recognition for playing William Afton in the horror film Five Nights at Freddy's (2023); that same year, The Hollywood Reporter praised his return to mainstream popular culture. He has since starred in the fantasy drama film The Life of Chuck (2025).

Huggy is a 2025 American psychological horror film directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan and produced by her father M. Night from a screenplay by him and David Fincher based on the Poppy Playtime character Huggy Wuggy and inspired by Mob Entertainment's YouTube video RESTRICTED_disappearance_06-18-1992.mp4. Distributed by Lionsgate and co-financed by Mob Entertainment, it is the first installment in the Huggy Wuggy trilogy and serves as an alternate story for the title character. Dove Cameron stars as Casey Wilson, the film's only main protagonist, an employee for the Playtime Company whose father Howard (Vince Vaughn) is a patient of the medical staff within the company's facility as she must take matters into her own hands when he is eventually forced out of their hands by Elliott Ludwig (Malcolm McDowell) and turned into the blue giant furry slender creature Huggy Wuggy. The supporting cast includes Rachel Weisz, Danny Glover, and Matthew Lillard. Huggy was released in theaters on October 24th, 2025; the film received generally positive reviews from critics, audiences, and fans, with praise for Shyamalan's direction and her father's screenplay, Huggy's characterization, score, VFX, atmosphere, and Cameron's performance. However, critics were divided on the violent approach to the source character and the decision to add an R-rating. It was also a box-office success, grossing $915 million worldwide against a break-even point of $120 million. A sequel is in development.
