He’s most well known for his role as the headmaster in “Dead Poets Society”. He was already in his mid-70s then. However, in my movie-crazed world, Lloyd will always be most associated for his role as the titular agitator in Alfred Hitchcock‘s “Saboteur.’ But, really, Lloyd has been acting since the `30s. He starred in two Orson Welles-directed stage plays (“Julius Caesar” and “Shoemaker’s Holiday”) also worked with Elia Kazan, Jean Renoir (“The Southerner”), Charlie Chaplin (“Limelight”), and Martin Scorsese (“The Age of Innocence”). Gen Z will probably best know him as the sleazy senior citizen in “Trainwreck.” He was almost cast by the Coens in what would have been his last role in “Hail, Caesar!,” but the studio didn’t want to risk his casting due to his age. I will make sure to now read Lloyd’s autobiography “Stages: Of Life in Theatre, Film and Television.”
