I only know him from The Birds, and would not have known if he was still alive or not. RIP

I remember him playing HG Wells in The Time Machine (1960 version).

Awe. This makes me sad. A fine actor and a very handsome man.

I didn't know he was in Inglorious B....tards. I only saw that movie a 1/2 dozen times.

I liked him a lot in those old movies and he was a very handsome guy. RIP

Feeling nostalgic about this. My mom used to tell me about a boyfriend she had before she met my father. He was an officer in the RAF. She always mentioned that he looked just like Rod Taylor. When I was very little I thought she meant RIP Taylor. LOL.

He was my very first actor crush, back in the early 60s.

I remember him from Falcon Crest - then a movie I used to watch every time it was on - The Glass Bottom Boat with Doris Day. He was a fantastic actor! Now I'm singing the theme song to The Glass Bottom Boat!

Always liked him. Remember watching his old TV show when I was a kid, it was "Hong Kong". He looked a lot like one of my uncles.

Liked the characters he played a couple of times in "Murder She Wrote" too.

I hadn't heard this yet. I am amazed that only 9 days into this year and all the people we have lost already. I remember him in the time machine movie. It's an old favorite and he was a good actor. I'll need to look this up and see what they say about his passing.

I forgot he was in BIRDS. Alfred Hitchock's movie. Sheesh!

Also a small, but well-done role in "Separate Tables" from 1958. Old movie lovers, see that one if you're not familiar with it.

He was in "Sunday In New York" with Jane Fonda, Cliff Robertson, and Robert Culp. It is another really nice romantic comedy. It was just on TCM this past weekend. Watch for it. I really enjoyed his acting. Very sad to see this.

His daughter, Felicia, was on CNBC and then co-anchored the news on the NBC station here in NYC. Don't know what she is doing now since she left WNBC.

His performances seldom disappointed me.
