Christopher Lloyd

Christopher Lloyd is proof that a so-called character actor can own a culture's imagination outright. Doc Brown is one of cinema's perfect comic creations — manic, tender, completely committed — but I am equally drawn to the craftsman underneath: the stage-trained actor who won back-to-back Emmys for Taxi, another in 1992, and an Independent Spirit Award. His secret, I think, is that he plays eccentrics from the inside; the wild eyes always hide real warmth and logic. That he is still working past his mid-eighties, beloved by generations who quote his lines back at him, says everything about the goodwill his work has banked. An American original.
