Brad Dourif

Brad Dourif was born in Huntington, West Virginia. He began acting in the 1970s, spurred on by his mother's interest in community theater and his own interest in the arts. He has two children, Fiona and Kristina, with his ex-wife, Joni.

Despite efforts otherwise, he has frequently been typecast as demented or derranged characters and villians - for example, Grima Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings. He also voiced the character Chucky in the Child's play horror-film series. He has stated that, although he would rather avoid typecasting, he loves to work. So, he accepts roles even when typecast.

History
Dourif played the character Zoso who appeared as a beggar to convince Rumplestiltskin to kill him and end his curse. This character was true to his typecasting.

Trivia

 * The British accent he used as Grima Wormtongue was so convincing that most of his fellow cast were shocked to hear him speak English with an American accent after they had finished filming.
