Character Bio:
| On an unknown date, Grima came into the service
as the chief counsellor of Theoden, King of the Mark. Grima was a
spy of Saruman, attempting to wear down Theoden's will and thus cause
him to unwittingly do things that would be to Saruman's advantage.
Upon being discovered as a traitor, he fled Rohan, and took refuge
in Orthanc with Saruman. Shortly after the destruction of Isengard,
he fled to the Shire with his true master. Saruman treated Grima very
badly and was eventually slain by him, after which Grima was killed
by hobbit arrows. |
Actor Bio:
| Brad Dourif is a quirky
character actor whose gallery of killers, sociopaths and other lost
souls brought to life any number of contemporary horror and science-fiction
projects. Born March 18, 1950 in Huntington, West Virginia, he began
his professional acting career after graduating college, honing his
skills during a three-year apprenticeship with New York's Circle Repertory
under the celebrated drama coach Sanford Meisner. While appearing
off-Broadway in a production of When You Comin' Back, Red Rider?,
Dourif was spotted by director Milos Forman, who immediately cast
him in his 1975 film adaptation of the Ken Kesey novel One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest. Dourif's turn as a suicidal teen asylum inmate
was one of the most acclaimed film debuts in memory, earning a "Best
Supporting Actor" Golden Globe as well as an Oscar nomination.
However, the performance also typecast him as a talent best suited
to idiosyncratic, off-center character roles, a straitjacket he remained
unable to break for the duration of his career. |
