Actors - Rod Taylor

Rod Taylor (born Rodney Sturt Taylor on January 11, 1930) is an Australian-born film and television actor.

Born in Lidcombe, a suburb of Sydney, Australia, Taylor was the only child of a construction contractor father and a writer mother. He attended Sydney Technical and Fine Arts College before deciding to become an actor after seeing Laurence Olivier in an Old Vic touring production that performed in Australia.

After acquiring radio and stage experience in Australia, Taylor moved to the United States in 1954, where he became a leading man in feature films of the 1960's and '70's. Equally adept at light comedy and drama, his best-known films are the 1963 Hitchcock classic The Birds
, and the 1960 version of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine
. Married three times, Taylor is a life-long painter, with homes in southern California, and in his native Australia. He is the father of CNBC anchorwoman, Felicia Taylor.
