I'll always remember him for his role in 'Time Machine' above other fine roles.

RIP

Same here, an actor with real charisma. I loved him in War of the Worlds, Time Machine, and the Birds. An Aussie for the ages.

Yep, remember him well in The Birds, Long John Silver and The Time Machine. I saw Inglourious Basterds but until now I didn't realize he was in it.

He also starred as Travis McGee in Darker Than Amber, the only one of John D. McDonald's terrific book series to make it to the big screen.

And then there was one of my all-time favorites - 36 Hours, which starred James Garner as a courier being held by a German major who is trying to convince Garner the war is over and "debrief" him on the Normandy invasion. Taylor was very convincing as the German major.
