Stephen Ure is an Australian actor.
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, he played Grishnákh in The Two Towers and Gorbag in The Return of the King. In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug he portrayed the Orc-hunter Fimbul and the Goblin Grinnah through motion capture.
Interestingly, both characters that Ure played were trying to kill a hobbit before being struck by a weapon from the back (Grishnákh survives the piercing, while Gorbag does not).
Career[]
He is known mostly for his work in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, but also for Spartacus (the TV series) and Hounds.
