- Terrence Vance Gilliam was the only American in the Monty Python troupe (although he does have British citizenship) but added the most surreal elements of the show through his many animations. As the series progressed he also did many small roles the other actors didn't want to perform for various reasons, and had very few speaking parts (one of his most notable lines is "I want more beans!" He was also Cardinal Fang of the Spanish Inquisition). He also wrote a number of the sketches, and from there co-wrote the troupe's three films based on original material with the rest of the troupe; he also co-directed Monty Python and The Holy Grail and directed the opening segment of The Meaning of Life, "The Crimson Permanent Assurance". From there he moved into writing and directing non-Python films, though some of his fellow troupers have appeared in and/or co-wrote them. His specialties are fantasy and science fiction films, often laced with dark humor (one could construe his worldview as "We're all doomed! Isn't that hilarious?"), and he was J. K. Rowling's choice of director for the Harry Potter movies -- however Warner Brothers decided against it. This is understandable given that few directors in the history of film have been so prone to Executive Meddling, production delays and budget overruns, and just plain bad luck as Terry Gilliam. After Jabberwocky (1977) and the hit Time Bandits (1981), the first great tale of his struggles came with 1985's Brazil. It put him at odds with Universal Pictures when executives attempted to recut the movie, especially its ending; the subsequent book The Battle of Brazil tells the tale. His next film, 1988's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, went wildly over budget and then bombed in the U.S. thanks to Columbia Pictures undergoing a regime change that kept it from getting proper release and promotion. In the 1990s, things were looking up with The Fisher King (1991), Twelve Monkeys (1995), and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). Then at the Turn of the Millennium, his films became a parade of It Got Worse situations behind the scenes. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was never completed thanks to trials and tribulations covered in the documentary Lost in La Mancha. The Brothers Grimm (2005) was beset by Executive Meddling, this time via Bob and Harvey Weinstein. Tideland (also 2005) made it to theaters, but was overlooked (plus it was set in, and filmed in a desert, but it just kept raining during filming). And finally, perhaps saddest of all, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) became Heath Ledger's final film when he died before completing his role. Bad luck simply doesn't cut it: the man's cursed. The Onion once joked that if Terry Gilliam were to have a barbecue, it would be beset by production delays. But his perilous productions have resulted in a portfolio of fascinating, if not always successful, films.
