Ian Obscene

Ian Obscene is a fictional character played by Adam LeMoine in the 2017 film, Bigsby, and the 2018 film, Grim.

Ian appeared as a member of a bum fight audience in "Bigsby the Fighter" before he was introduced in Grim as a musician and the drummer for "Dave Grigger and the Grave Diggers" along with Dave Grigger, Kit Johnston, and Kurtis Murder.

Development and Casting
The character was created by Fritz Bishop in an earlier script predating Tar City, he chose to revive the character in name alone which was originally named after Ian Kean, front man of The Bloody Hell, who had previously attended film school with Fritz and would later perform with his band at Tar City's "One Night Stand" event on March 3rd, 2018.

Adam appeared as an unnamed background character in Bigsby, but Fritz decided to retroactively acknowledge that the character was the same that Adam portrays in Grim.

The backstory involving the band and their guitarist (Kurtis) getting too drunk to play the show was created by Adam LeMoine and Shane Wilkie in order to resolve a scheduling conflict between actors and explain a character's absence in the performance. Adam also wrote his interview segment in the film in which he recalls Gordie's high school nick name of "piss drinker" and even plays a song he wrote about the incident.

Keith Doom, Mitch Hines, Riley Hill and Adam LeMoine performed "NASACar Racing" by Keith Doom and the Wrecking Crew for their scene in the film. At some point between the events of Grim and Bigsby, Ian quits performing music and becomes homeless, seen attending bum fights with Grundy Gunthrie.
