It’s rumoured that Lloyd was in the running for the role of Jack Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror, The Shining. While, at first, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Jack Nicholson as the film’s lead, Lloyd’s knack for playing complex characters might have actually worked well with Jack Torrance’s tortured persona. It seems that Stephen King, a...
Lloyd recently revealed that he almost turned down the chance to play Doc Brown in Back to the Future. “I had just accepted a role in a play – a great role – in a play in New York, and that’s where I was gonna go. So I kind of dismissed this ‘Back to the Future’script,” he said on Your Morning in 2018. “I allowed [the script] to slip into the trash...
Lloyd is a descendant of passengers of the Mayflower, the English ship that transported Puritan settlers from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. Specifically, Lloyd can trace his ancestry back to passenger John Howland. According to the Associated Press, Howland worked as the servant of John Carver, the first governor of the New Plymouth Colony. Ho...
Tragedy struck in 2008 when Lloyd’s California home was destroyed in the Montecito Tea Fire. Lloyd was filming in Vancouver at the time of the disaster, but rushed back home once he heard his house had been affected. The ‘Tea Fire’ started at the Tea Garden Estate and ripped through an area full of celebrity homes. Oprah Winfrey, Michael Douglas, R...
Lloyd’s maternal grandfather co-founded the Texaco oil company. Today, Texaco is one of the largest oil businesses in the world. Texaco was founded in Beaumont, Texas in 1901 by Joseph S Cullinan, Thomas J Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, Arnold Schlaet – and Lewis Lapham, Lloyd’s grandfather. The venture was hugely successful. In 1928 Texaco became ...
Lloyd may have been much leaner than the original Uncle Fester, but that wasn’t going to stop him from playing Gomez Addams’ rotund brother. Underneath Fester’s iconic black coat, Lloyd concealed a fat suit gifted to him by Bruno Kirby, who had used the very same padding in The Godfather Part II. Kirby had used the suit to appear bulkier in his rol...
In 1977, Lloyd starred alongside Meryl Streep in a Broadway production of the musical Happy End. Disaster struckwhen Lloyd almost broke his leg the day before the play was supposed to open. The budding actor had ripped two ligaments in his right leg and was reduced to hobbling around on crutches. While, ordinarily, his understudy would have stepped...
Lloyd’s 1990 interview with Terry Wogan is probably up there with one of the most awkward exchanges on TV. It’s painful to watch Lloyd offer monosyllabic answers to Wogan’s repeated questions as Mary Steenburgen desperately tries to keep the conversation going. Speaking to The Guardian in 2010, Lloyd put down the cringeworthy interview to the simpl...
It makes sense that Lloyd turned to Albert Einstein when it came to figuring out how best to portray the mad but brilliant Doc Brown. As well as drawing on Einstein’s eccentricity, Lloyd’s frizzy white hair in the film was also inspired by the physicist’s iconic wispy locks. Lloyd also drew on the conductor Leopold Stowoski when it came to bringing...
Lloyd has played a great variety of roles in his time – from mad scientist Doc Brown to Russian Svengali Rasputin. But the veteran actor recently revealed that his dream would be to play Don Quixote. Speaking to Under the Radar in 2015, Lloyd confessed: “This is kind of a fantasy I think about. If somebody came to me and said, “How would you like t...
