‎[edit]‎ Personal life

Lloyd was born in Stamford, Connecticut, the son of Ruth ‎(née Lapham)‎, a singer who was the sister of San Francisco mayor Roger Lapham, and Samuel R. Lloyd, a lawyer.‎[1]‎‎[2]‎ He attended the Fessenden School, a preparatory school in Newton, Massachusetts. Lloyd was raised in New Canaan, Connecticut and Westport, Connecticut where he graduated from Staples High School in 1958. His mother donated Waveny Park to the town of New Canaan.

Lloyd seldom appears in public or gives interviews ‎(he gave rare interviews on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Family Films in 2005 and on the Opie and Anthony show in 2009 as a birthday gift to co-host and BTTF superfan Anthony Cumia)‎. Some of his best friends, co-stars and fans who have met him describe Lloyd as a very shy and quiet man. His nephew, Sam Lloyd, is best known for playing Ted Buckland, the lawyer on Scrubs. Christopher Lloyd was married from February 1992 to December 2005 to writer/producer Jane Walker Wood; this was his fourth marriage. He is a fan of fly fishing. Lloyd's home was destroyed in the Tea Fire of November 2008 in Montecito, California.
‎[edit]‎ Career

He began acting by age 14 and started apprenticing in summer stock. He took acting classes in New York City at age 19, some at the Neighborhood Playhouse with Sanford Meisner. He appeared in several Broadway productions, including Happy End, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Red, White and Maddox, Kaspar ‎[disambiguation needed]‎, The Harlot and the Hunted, The Seagull, Total Eclipse ‎[disambiguation needed]‎, Macbeth, In the Boom Boom Room, Cracks ‎[disambiguation needed]‎, Professional Resident Company, What Every Woman Knows, And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers, The Father ‎[disambiguation needed]‎, King Lear, and Power Failure.

His first major motion picture role was as a psychiatric patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. However, he may be most remembered for his roles as Reverend Jim Ignatowski, the ex-hippie cabbie on the TV sitcom Taxi, and the eccentric inventor Emmett "Doc" Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy of sci-fi films, for which he was nominated for a Saturn Award. He portrayed the villain Maj. Bartholomew 'Butch' Cavendish in The Legend of the Lone Ranger a role he has played numerous times in various spin-offs and incarnations. He also played notable roles as Klingon Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Professor Dimple in an episode of Road to Avonlea, the title role in The Pagemaster, the villain Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a wacky sound effects man named Zoltan in Radioland Murders, and Uncle Fester in the big screen adaptations of The Addams Family. In 1999 Lloyd was reunited onscreen with Michael J. Fox in an episode of "Spin City" entitled "Back to the Future IV - Judgment Day" where Lloyd plays Owen Kingston, Mike Flaherty's ‎(Fox's character)‎ former mentor who stops by City Hall to see him, only to proclaim himself as God. Also in November 2007, Lloyd was reunited onscreen with his former Taxi co-star Judd Hirsch in the ‎(Season 4 episode)‎ "Graphic"‎[3]‎ of the TV series Numb3rs.

He recently played Ebenezer Scrooge in a 2008 production of A Christmas Carol at the Kodak Theatre with John Goodman and Jane Leeves. He also recently appeared in a trailer for a fake horror film, entitled Gobstopper, where he played Willy Wonka as a horror movie villain.‎[4]‎

Trivia

Independent Spirit Award for Twenty Bucks ‎(1993)‎, best supporting actor.

Graduate from Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut, in 1958.

His "Taxi" ‎(1978)‎ character, Reverend Jim Ignatowski, was a big fan of the original "Star Trek" ‎(1966)‎ series. Lloyd later went on to play the Klingon commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock ‎(1984)‎.

As a young actor, he performed at the Yale Repertory Theater with Meryl Streep.

Has appeared in over two hundred plays, including many on Broadway, regional, and summer stock productions.

His second cousin, John Willis, works for the Vermont Food Bank.

For his brief 1985 scenes in Back to the Future ‎(1985)‎, he wore prosthetic make-up to appear 30 years older than in his 1955 scenes, which dominate the film. In the sequels, the 1985 Doc Brown has more scenes. To avoid having to put him through extensive make-up every morning, writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale came up with the idea of Doc Brown visiting a rejuvenation clinic in the future, which results in his face looking much younger.

Attended the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City.

Attended the prestigious Fessenden School in West Newton, Massachusetts.

In a scene in Back to the Future ‎(1985)‎, his character Dr. Emmett L. "Doc" Brown, hangs on the arm of a large clock. This mimics a stunt done by Harold Lloyd ‎(no relation)‎ in the movie Safety Last! ‎(1923)‎.

To prepare for the role of Taber in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ‎(1975)‎, he lived in a mental institution for a few weeks and studied the patients. He modeled his character after one of the patients and stayed in character throughout all filming even when not on screen.

Has appeared with Mary Steenburgen in three different films: Goin' South ‎(1978)‎, Back to the Future Part III ‎(1990)‎ and Wish You Were Dead ‎(2002)‎.

Uncle of Sam Lloyd.

Younger brother of Sam Lloyd Sr.

In Man on the Moon ‎(1999)‎, in scenes of "Taxi" ‎(1978)‎, he appeared as himself, reprising his old role of Reverend Jim Ignatowski in the sitcom 20 years after the show itself was aired.

He's a devoted bicyclist. He once rode through Italy, pedaling from Milan to Venice, over the Dolomites, along the Amalfi coast and to Naples.

At 19, he moved to Manhattan and began studying with the acting teacher Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse.

Owns a home in Montana.

Graduate of the Darrow School, which alumni include Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo, Gregory Hughes and photographer Jane Feldman.

Where Are They Now

‎(August 2010)‎ Playing Willie Loman in an off-Broadway production of "Death of a Salesman" in Weston, VT.
