He is the voice of Reverend Josiah Reed in the video game Gun.

Brad is well known as the voice of Chucky the Killer Doll in Childs Play 1,2,3, Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. The killer doll also turned up in an episode of SNL that was hosted by Lucy Lawless.
(edit)
Brad has said that his favorite scene from LOTR was with Miranda Otto (Eowyn). Basically, the scene depicts the concept that he can never have what he wants, and, therefore, he can never be fulfilled as a human being. It definitely shows Grima's weakness.

Brad's stepfather, Bill Campbell, was a champion golf player & served as president of the US Golf Association.

Brad Dourif: (on horror films) There is nothing wrong with horror films. Their existence has definitely had an impact on me. It is important to have scary demons in our world on film. We have them in the world. That is why we are afraid, it is nice to have a visual and to have a confrontation with it. And fear is something we need to exist.
(edit)
Brad Dourif: The great thing about being a villain, particularly in this culture, is that we love our villains, we’re really fascinated by evil. So, I mean, if you find all the evil inside you and you’re willing to express it, you can survive quite well in this business.
(edit)
Brad Dourif: (on playing 'bad guys') We’re all villains -- everybody. Every nation walks on the bones of some other nation that got wiped out, and that’s why we’re here. We’re a pretty frightening, terrible beast, really. You spend your life as an actor, you have to use yourself, so I know pretty thoroughly by this time that I’m pretty much of a scoundrel anyway.

"Personal favorite"Superb Brad has an amazing ability to portray his character's feelings through his expression. When watching him all other characters seem to be drowned out and you become fixated. I would love to see him playing bad guys in many more movies - he is always memor Continue » Posted Apr 26, 2006 8:54 pm PST |
