Chris Chalk hopes people see many different spirits within Dick Hallorann. In It: Welcome to Derry, Chalk stars as the same character the late Scatman Crothers played in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, the kind old-timer who has the uncanny ability to sense the otherworldly. Naturally, Chalk's performance has homages to Crothers, but there are other familiar faces hidden within it too. He put a little Viola Davis in there. And Denzel Washington. And a dash of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
