Biography edit · view history
Born May 5, 1944, Wiltshire, England, John Rhys-Davies is one of modern cinema's most recognizable character actors. He has built an impressive onscreen career, especially for a stage actor who once swore that he would never perform in front of a camera.
While best known for his work as Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) comic sidekick, Sallah, in two of Paramount's Indiana Jones adventure films, the actor has appeared in over 100 television shows and films since the early '70s. One of his most recent roles was the part of the warrior dwarf "Gimli" in The Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy.
Besides being an actor, Rhys-Davies is also a serious vintage car collector and a thriving investor. In the '80s, he invested heavily with his earnings and purchased a company that conducts genetic engineering feasibility studies. The actor resides in both Los Angeles and the Isle of Man.
