The Australian Hollywood Leading Man Rod Taylor | Rod Taylor Pulling No Punches | Beyond Documentary

My favorite Sci-Fi film as a kid was "The Time Machine". Still is.

He was strong, handsome, powerful actor. In any movie, all eyes are on him, he literally fills the screen effortlessly. He could do everything: drama, comedy, rom-coms, action adventure. So versatile, and his delivery of lines was light and exact. Just watch the interplay between him and Maggie Smith or Tippi Hedren. Stars like this only come around in our orbit once in awhile, and he was engagingly watchable.

Bonjour. Oui, c'est un excellent acteur.

This is one of the reasons to love KZbin because you can find cool documentaries about somewhat underrated performers like Rod Taylor and learn things about them you never knew.

What a fantastic documentary. One of my all-time favorite actors. My favorites of his flicks are: 1- Darker Than Amber- The original cut of the fight scene is the greatest fight in cinema history imo. 2- Dark of The Sun- For me, this is the greatest mercenary flick ever made. A brutal, brutal flick. One of the greatest adventure movies ever made. 3- The Time Machine- Even all these decades later, my all-time favorite Sci-Fi flicks ever made. Few things are as fun as seeing Rod Taylor beat the ever living crap out of Morlocks while saving Yvette Mimieux.

This was a very enjoyable documentary! Rod Taylor seems like such a nice, regular guy!

[@madamrockford2508]

One of the very best there was or will be. So few have such adaptability, even fewer can play so many different types of roles, in so many genres.💖👍⚘🌟

Bonjour. En effet, je pense que Rod Taylor avait un don ou alors il savait très (mais TRES) bien interpréter.

[@wmjahn]

DARK OF THE SUN aka THE MERCENARIES is my most beloved Rod Taylor movie, a masterpiece of hard hitting action. I wish he would have done more such bleak action flicks. Have seen DARKER THAN AMBER only once, I probably have to give it another viewing. Btw, it should have been mentioned that Errol Flynn was from Down Under as well. This docu gives the impression that Rod was the first Aussie who hit it big in movies. He was the 2nd, but that is no "shame" at all.

One of the early Aussie imports. Taylor starred in one of my favorite Twiight Zone episodes called " And When the Sky was Opened. " A year later I saw him in The Time Machine in 1960. Next came Hitchcock 's The Birds. I always enjoyed him in any movie he appeared in from then on. He would have been a great James Bond.

HARRINGTON!!!

[@helanesolomon1724]

Thanks for this! I’m a huge Rod Taylor fan!!

[@Wolfinger1935]

This could have been... and should have been a 2 Hour documentary. One of my favorite actors growing up

[@itsgleneaton4883]

He would have made a great James Bond. But on the other hand he’s a bit more down to earth.

[@frostylunetta]

Rod Taylor might have been a better Bond than Roger Moore, but no one beats Sean Connery as 007 😅

[@earth7551]

​@@frostylunetta Incorrect Rod Taylor is just is great of actor as Sean Connery So Rod Taylor would have been awesome as Bond

[@justinakavanagh3058]

He was good looking, fun and an all round nice guy. I don't see many like that nowadays.

[@catchaser52]

I couldn't believe it was Rod Taylor in the movie, "Welcome To Woo Woo".

[@itravisoni]

Best in action adventure and movies like The Birds great talent

[@glyyym7694]
