> [@sqweels](#): > > This is far from “less than stellar”, but I was suprised to learn that the guy who played Wormtongue in _LOTR_ played Billy Bibbit in _One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest_. He was also the voice of Chucky. (Of course, Danny Devito and Christopher Lloyd were in OFOTCN as well.) Brad Dourif. Also the kindly sheriff in the remakes of HALLOWEEN, Hazel Mote in WISE BLOOD, and Pieter in David Lynch’s DUNE. ---
