Grimsby is typically portrayed as a steadfast, kind, and slightly bumbling gentleman, embodying traits of traditional English decorum. His loyalty to Prince Eric is unwavering, and he often acts as a grounding force, encouraging Eric to fulfill his royal duties and consider marriage for the sake of the kingdom. Although he may seem overly cautious or conservative, Grimsby has a warm heart and a subtle sense of humor that make him a lovable supporting character in the story.

In the 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid, Grimsby was voiced by Ben Wright, an English-born actor known for his work in various Disney classics, including 101 Dalmatians (as Roger Radcliffe) and The Jungle Book (as Mowgli’s wolf father, Rama). Wright’s refined and distinguished voice brought depth and sophistication to Grimsby, perfectly capturing his gentle humor and nurturing spirit. In Disney’s 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, Grimsby is portrayed by Art Malik, who brings a fresh, yet respectful interpretation to the role, maintaining Grimsby’s role as a trusted advisor and guardian for Eric.
