 Honorary Academy Awards Nomination : ROD TAYLOR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Rod Taylor was ahead of his time as an early Australian actor to cross over into the U.S. movie industry, and he even became a naturalized U.S. citizen, proving himself to be a loyal American actor.
Rod was also ahead of his time doing movies that were not entirely popular with the larger audience at the time, but some of his movies dealt with issues that were not so commonly dealt with at the time either.
Rod Taylor may not have the same popularity that he had in his earlier days, but it is remarkable that after all these years, he still has a large and loyal fan base from the U.S. to Europe and Australia, with a terrific internet website dedicated just to him.

He tried Rodney Taylor at first, then shortened it to the more "macho" Rod Taylor.
Signed to a nonexclusive contract by MGM in 1957, Taylor was cast in predominantly American roles, and accordingly managed to submerge his Australian accent in favor of a neutral "mid-Atlantic" cadence; even when playing an Englishman in 1960's The Time Machine, he spoke with barely a trace of a discernable accent.
Gaining a bit of avoirdupois in recent years, Rod Taylor has retained his rugged, robust features and has thrived in character roles as ageing, but still virile, outdoorsmen.
