Taylor was born in Lidcombe, a suburb of Sydney, to a father who was a steel construction contractor and commercial artist and a mother who was a children's author. He began taking art classes in high school, and continued in college. He decided to become an actor after seeing Laurence Olivier in an Old Vic touring production of ''Richard III.''
His first film role was in a re-enactment of Charles Sturt's voyage down the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers, playing Sturt's offsider, George Macleay. At the time, he was also appearing in a number of theatre productions for Australia's Mercury Theatre. He made his feature film debut in the Australian Lee Robinson film ''King of the Coral Sea'' (1954). He soon started acting in television films, portraying several different characters in the 1950s anthology series ''Studio 57''.
He started to gain popularity after starring in ''The Time Machine'' (1960), as H. George Wells. He later starred in the Disney film ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians'' (1961), voicing Pongo. In one of his most famous roles, he played Mitch Brenner in ''The Birds'' (1963), directed by Alfred Hitchcock. By the late 1990s, Taylor had moved into semi-retirement. His final film role was in Quentin Tarantino's ''Inglourious Basterds'' (2009), portraying a fictionalized version of Winston Churchill in a cameo. Provided by Wikipedia
