John Rhys-Davies was born inSalisbury on 5 May 1944,[1] the son of Welsh parents. His mother, Phyllis Jones, was a nurse, while his father, Rhys Davies, was a mechanical engineer and colonial officer.[2]
Due to his father's work as a colonial police officer, Rhys-Davies was raised inTanganyika (today part ofTanzania) before his family moved to the Welsh town ofAmmanford.[1] While in Tanganyika, his family lived in places such asDar es Salaam,Kongwa,Moshi, andMwanza. Rhys-Davies was educated at independentTruro School in Cornwall and then at theUniversity of East Anglia, where he was one of the first 105 students admitted and became a co-founder of its drama club. After a stint teaching at a secondary school inWatton, Norfolk, Rhys-Davies won a place at theRoyal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Rhys-Davies appeared sporadically on UK television in the early 1970s, including his role as the gangster "Laughing Spam Fritter" oppositeAdam Faith inBudgie. Later, Rhys-Davies playedPraetorian officerNaevius Sutorius Macro inI, Claudius. He then began to appear more frequently, and not just in the UK, with roles as a Portuguese navigator Rodrigues in the 1980 television miniseriesShōgun, based on the novel byJames Clavell.
In 1989, Rhys-Davies played Marvel Comics characterKingpin inThe Trial of the Incredible Hulk.[3] He also starred in another Clavell adaption,Noble House, set in Hong Kong, where Rhys-Davies plays Ian Dunross' corporate enemy, Quillan Gornt.[4] He has since appeared in numerous television shows and miniseries, including Agent Michael Malone in the 1993 remake of the 1950s television seriesThe Untouchables[5] as well as a leading role in the television seriesSliders as Professor Maximillian Arturo from 1995 to 1997.[6]
Rhys-Davies also appeared inReilly, Ace of Spies in 1983, made several appearances inStar Trek: Voyager as aholodeck version ofLeonardo da Vinci,[7] starred as an ally ofJames Bond inThe Living Daylights, and appeared in the filmOne Night with the King. Rhys-Davies has played the characterPorthos in two separate projects; a two-part episode ofThe Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, and the Hallmark Channel filmLa Femme Musketeer. He appears in thefull-motion videocut scenes of computer games includingRipper (as Vigo Haman) (1996),Dune 2000 (as Noree Moneo) (1998), and theWing Commander series (as James Taggart, doubling as the voice of Thrakhath nar Kiranka in the third game of the series).
In 2004, Rhys-Davies narratedThe Privileged Planet, a documentary that makes the case forintelligent design.[8] He also provided narration in the MTV seriesWildboyz around this time. In 2013, Rhys-Davies appeared in the family history programmeComing Home, in which he discovered information about his grandfather's life in the Carmarthenshire coal mines.[9]
In 2014, Rhys-Davies joined the cast of the television showMétal Hurlant Chronicles to play Holgarth, an immortal alchemist.[10] In October 2015, it was announced that he had a role in the single-player moduleSquadron 42, of the planned PC game franchiseStar Citizen;[11] the work consisted of full bodymotion capture, including facial expressions and his voice.[12] In October 2024, withSquadron 42 in its 10th year of development, the developer suggested that it might be released in 2026.[13]
Rhys-Davies playedSallah in the 1981 filmRaiders of the Lost Ark.[14] He reprised the role of Sallah in two subsequentIndiana Jones films.[15]
Rhys-Davies appeared as the dwarfGimli inThe Lord of the Rings trilogy. The cinematography of the films was aided in that Rhys-Davies is tall – 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), compared to the actors playing hobbits at around 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m).[16] Therefore, although his character was supposed to be short, Rhys-Davies was properly in proportion compared to the hobbit actors. Had he been of more similar height, shots of the entire fellowship would have required three camera passes rather than two.[17]
Rhys-Davies is the only one of the nine Fellowship of the Ring actors who did not receive a tattoo of the word "nine" written in theTengwar script; his stunt double, Brett Beattie, was offered the tattoo instead as Rhys-Davies was disinclined to get one himself and Beattie had spent so much time as his double that he almost received co-credit.[18]
Rhys-Davies suffered severe reactions to theprosthetics used during filming, and his eyes sometimes swelled shut. When asked whether Rhys-Davies would consider returning to the role for thefilm version ofThe Hobbit, he said, "I have already completely ruled it out. There's a sentimental part of me that would love to be involved again. Really I am not sure my face can take that sort of punishment any more." Rhys-Davies added that this time around, "[t]hey've got a different set of problems ... because you've got 13 dwarves, a whole band of them ... You're trying to represent a whole race ... You're trying to do for dwarves whatThe Lord of the Rings did for hobbits."[19] He offered help as a dwarf advisor in 2011, but ruled out returning as Gimli inThe Hobbit because of the punishing makeup required.[20]

In addition to voicing the EntTreebeard inLord of the Rings, Rhys-Davies has lent his distinctive voice to many video games and animated television series, including the role ofHades inJustice League, the original voice ofMan Ray inSpongeBob SquarePants (until both roles were recast withBob Joles), and numerous times inGargoyles (1994–1996), as the characterMacbeth. He also lent his vocal talents to the gamesFreelancer (as Richard Winston Tobias) andLords of Everquest (both in 2003) and the gameQuest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, which was released with his narration on a CD-ROM version in 1995. Rhys-Davies also had a voice role onBaldur's Gate: Dark Alliance as the character Jherek, and narrated a documentary calledThe Glory of Macedonia.Next Generation magazine gave itsDune 2000 review "an automatic one-star deduction for featuring John "Multimedia Whore" Rhys-Davies in theFMV."[21]
Rhys-Davies' voice can be heard on the 2009 documentaryReclaiming the Blade.[22] In the narration, he explores swords,historical European swordsmanship and fight choreography on film, a topic very familiar to Rhys-Davies from his experiences inThe Lord of the Rings trilogy, where his character wielded an axe in many scenes.
In 2004, Rhys-Davies was the unknowing subject of an internet prank that spread false rumours in several mainstream media sources that he was scheduled to play the role ofGeneral Grievous inStar Wars Episode III.[23]
Rhys-Davies is the narrator ofThe Truth & Life Dramatized audio New Testament Bible, a 22-hour, celebrity-voiced, fully dramatisedaudiobook version of the New Testament which uses the Revised Standard Version-Catholic Edition translation. In 2011, he presentedKJB: The Book That Changed The World, which features Rhys-Davies reading diverse snippets from the King James Version.
Rhys-Davies' voice work also includes voice-over work withBreathe Bible.[24] In 2016, he provided spoken words forVoices of Fire, the sixth album bya cappellapower metal bandvan Canto.[25]
A resident of theIsle of Man since 1988, John Rhys-Davies provides the introductory voice-over to the Island'sCastle Rushen, one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in the British Isles. In 2018, he lent his voice to the Isle of Man's tourism commercial.
Rhys-Davies voice was recorded for some of the callouts in the 1993 Williams SuperPinIndiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure.[26]
In the 2023 video gameThe Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, Rhys-Davies reprises the role of Gimli and narrates the opening scene.[27][28][29]
Rhys-Davies married Suzanne Wilkinson in December 1966, and they had two sons together. Although theylegally separated in 1985, they remained married until her death fromAlzheimer's disease in 2010. They remained friends, and Rhys-Davies took care of Wilkinson in her final years.[30]
In 2004, Rhys-Davies began dating Lisa Manning. They have a daughter together, and split their time between homes in the New Zealand region ofWaikato[31] and on theIsle of Man.[32]
While Rhys-Davies identifies asirreligious, he holds Christianity in high regard and has stated that "Christian civilisation has made the world a better place than it ever was."
In February 2020, Rhys-Davies stated, "All the things that we value,the right of free speech,the right of the individual conscience, these evolved in first and second centuryRomanChristendom, where the individual Christian said, 'I have a right to believe, what I believe and not what the Emperor tells me.' From that our whole idea of democracy and the equality that we have has developed. We owe Christianity the greatest debt of thanks that a generation can ever have, and to slight it and to dismiss it as being irrelevant is the detritus of rather ill-read minds, I think."[33][34]
Rhys-Davies is not a member of any political party. He was aradicalleftist as a university student in the 1960s, but changed his views after hecklingMargaret Thatcher, who he said "shot down the first two hecklers in such brilliant fashion that [he] decided [he] ought for once to shut up and listen".[35]
In 2004, Rhys-Davies said in an interview withWorld magazine: "There is ademographic catastrophe happening in Europe that nobody wants to talk about, that we daren't bring up because we are so cagey about not offending people racially. And rightly we should be. But there is a cultural thing as well. By 2020, 50% of the children inHolland under the age of 18 will be ofMuslim descent."[36] In an interview with the conservative journalNational Review, he said that he is opposed toIslamic extremism because he believes that it violates theWestern values of equality, democracy, tolerance, and theabolition of slavery.[35]
Rhys-Davies was vocal in his support forBrexit.[37]
