Eternally condemned to the status of "Oh THAT guy!", the inimitable Brad Dourif has been on film seemingly forever in oddball roles that encompass ALL genres and quality levels. In fact, the amazingly prolific Dourif likely won't stop acting until he literally drops dead on a movie shoot like poor John Carradine. Besides David Warner, there's no other actor working today who can move so comfortably between prestigious "serious" fare and the lowest-of-the-low budget potboilers with such ease and career longevity.
Born on March 15, 1950 in Huntington, Virginia, Dourif began his career as a stage actor in New York and found immediate acclaim in one of his earliest (and Oscar nominated) film roles as Billy Babbit in Milos Forman's classic "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). Take another look at Babbit's powerful suicide, and marvel that this is the same actor who played an exterminator in the giant rat movie "Graveyard Shift"! Then again, it's a testament to Dourif's talent, fearless spirit, and utterly unique screen presence that he can survive such debacles and still remain Hollywood's number one "character actor" du jour.<P>
