Grant, 64, is a seven-time Critics Choice nominee, having won once before: for his small part in 2022’sGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, as part of the acting ensemble.

Mr. Reed, Grant’s character inHeretic, appears to be harmless at first, welcoming two missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints into his home. But as Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton (Sophie Thatcherand Chloe East, respectively) attempt to convert him to their religion, they become enmeshed in a psychologically twisted test of faith.

In a chat with PEOPLE in October 2024, Grant told PEOPLE that the characteris a “damaged, bad guy"— but he prefers it that way.
