Oh my gosh, this is incredibly sad…
He was amazing in The Time Machine, and fantastic in an episode of The Twilight Zone called ‘And When the Sky Was Opened’, one of my favorite episodes of the series. I own the original Twilight Zone series on DVD, and he recorded a commentary for that episode. It’s worth a listen.
R.I.P., Mr. Taylor.
Let’s not forget that Rod Taylor’s final appearance was Inglourious Basterds, where he played Winston Churchill.
Unrelated (well, if you don’t count Gypsy’s obsession with Richard Basehart) – Terry Becker, who played Chief Sharky on Voyage To The Bottom of the Sea, passed away last week.
excellent that he’s tied to mst3k in some way. He was perfect in Time Machine. One of my mostest most favs.
Someone posted this in another forum:
“Mister Filby, do you suppose he’ll ever return?”
“One cannot choose, but wonder. You see, he’s all the time in the world.”
RIP.
Sad news. I loved him in the Time Machine.
Also, anyone know if full recordings of the live shows exist anywhere?

if any are around, that would be a great show to watch (if not, a missing gem).
“And When the Sky was Opened” is my favorite Twilight Zone. I grew up feeling like those astronauts. Thank you Rod Taylor.
They can try all they like but they will never beat the originals. Thank you Rod Taylor for your performance in The Time Machine, a true classic film.
It’s very simple to find out any matter on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this article at this web site.
