Monty Python's Terry Gilliam (born November 22, 1940) is the only American-born Python, as the rest of the group are all British by birth.

Terry Gilliam was the principal artist-animator of the surreal cartoons which frequently linked the Monty Python show's sketches together, and defined the group's visual language in other media. Gilliam also appeared in sketches and played small parts in the films but he was always the least visible Python.

Gilliam's Monty Python animations have a distinctive style. He mixed his own art (soft gradient and odd bulbous shapes), with backgrounds and moving cutouts from antique photographs, mostly from the Victorian era.
