 Noah Taylor / Max
Noah Taylor, Australia's most reluctant star, gives not only the best performance of his career, but risks a lot in his portrayal of the young Hitler in the upcoming Max, where he gives a performance as controversial as it is enthralling.
Dressed in a dark suit and tie, Taylor is bemused when told that one of his co-stars in his latest film Max, Molly Parker, wanted to do the film because Noah was in it.
But it was the former that has fired up the actor, which explains why the publicity-shy Taylor was happy to grin and bear all of the hoopla for the sake of a film that has garnered him with his best critical notices to date.

 Noah Bio
Noah grew up in the St. Kilda area of Melbourne (but not, says the Sydney Morning Herald, on the seamy side), fantasizing of being a spy or a commando (a common fantasy in Melbourne, Noah tells British GQ).
Noah would like to play more comic roles in the future, saying "goofy comedy" comes more easily to him than the dramatic roles for which he is famous.
Noah often says that he fell into acting "by accident." This is not to say he doesn't admire the actor's craft, but rather he's "not particularly career-driven.

 A tale of the unexpected - Film - Entertainment - smh.com.au
Taylor played the unsettled lead character and, during the promotional tour, announced Felafel was likely to be his last lead role for two reasons: he didn't like the pressures of selling a film and he preferred character roles.
Indeed, Taylor's low opinion of his work is in contrast to the high esteem with which he is regarded by critics and directors.

 Noah Taylor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Ellis thought that Taylor has an instinct for the 'grotty Bohemian Kind of tenement-dwelling' (as described by the director), self-pitying, eccentric youth and he would have been able to carry out the role of Elkin ('The Nostradamus Kid' lead actor) even if they fail to meet in real life.
Taylor is no doubt a professional and talented actor, thus it is not difficult to understand why he needs to choose his films as each project he undergoes will either bring him higher or lower in popularity.
Therefore initially, Taylor was not so keen to play the part of the moody, over-sexed and hyperactive Elkin who believed the world is about to end (Loretta Hall).

Taylor based his portrayal on a class photo he found showing Hitler as "this incredibly stern, angry-looking kid," and on Albert Speer's famous observation that Hitler always thought of himself as an artist first.

I don't know whether it came from the Taylors, the Dominicks, or both; but many Taylors who grew up totally apart from each other share facial characteristics.
When Fred Boatright of Arcadia and I first met, after looking me over, he said, "One thing that puzzles me is that you're tall and most Taylors are short." It seems that the Taylor line is not a tall one, but genes come in from outside.
My grandfather Taylor was not tall, but his wife was a strapping six feet.

 SPLICEDwire | "Max" review (2002) Menno Meyjes, John Cusack, Noah Taylor
Hitler, played by the talented Noah Taylor ("Shine"), is so nervously seething with bile, resentment, fear and anger that it's difficult to take him seriously during pivotal scenes in which the young Nazi party organizer is spitting his venomous but empty anti-Semitic propaganda to crowds on the streets of Berlin.
When this national disgust begets Hitler's nationalistic rhetoric, however, Meyjes and Taylor over-sell his vehemence to such a degree that if it weren't for the actor's commitment to finding the character's heart -- fl as it may be -- he'd be as ridiculous as an action movie villain.
When he's not taking the part to the extreme, Taylor's hollow cheeks, bad haircut, tattered army jacket and haggard, defeated but choleric body language personify a festering malignity that provides an eerie glimpse into his character's future.

Noah Taylor prefers to take a reality check on good, bad and certainly indifferent acting roles.
Unlike some actors with Hollywood at their feet, Noah notoriously chooses raw, grounded roles often found within independent films, and is choosy about those Hollywood offerings, preferring those in which he can deliver unto a genius reality.
Noah, now, is seemingly unstoppable in all film genres: from The Year my Voice Broke to Tomb Raider; from Vanilla Sky to Richard Lowenstein's 'He died with a Falafel in his hand.' Whatever Noah's role, one thing is for sure, it will exude his very being.
