Ephialtes is one of the characters in the film 300.

He is played by Andrew Tiernan.

Ephialtes is a deformed hunchback in exile whose parents ran away from Sparta. Hoping to redeem his dad, he volunteers

to Leonidas to join the army. But Ephialtes is too weak to raise up his shield high enough so Leonidas rejects him.

Mad at this, he goes to Xerxes and betrays his own country to get a reward.

Ephialtes tells the Persians a path that only locals know. In real life, he was a simple traitor who never got the reward and was killed.
