Love him in “Young Cassidy” about the playwright Sean O’Casey. Also starred Maggie Smith and Julie Christie (right before she hit it big).
One of my favorite actors. He was never as big a star as he should have been.
Enjoyed Taylor in many of his roles but I always think of him as George Wells in The Time Machine. Watched it again the other evening. Direction and acting make up for less sophisticated visual effects of the 2002 remake. As I told friends there is nothing like a great story well-told.
He was also in “The Train Robbers” with John Wayne and Ann Margaret!
He did it sans delorean sans flux capacitor sans 88mph
And does anyone remember his FIRST Time Travel Movie? Four years before The Time Machine was World Without End about a space ship trip that flirted with the SOL and when they landed it was centuries later and after nuclear war and the earth was populated with dumb normals and mutants. This was similar to planet of the apes and the time machine
RIP Rod
RIP Rod.
Sad.
Little known fact: he turned down James Bond in the early 60’s.
There was a handsome dude. Loved him.
