Biography

Jack Taylor, born George Brown Randall on October 21, 1936, embarked on his acting career in the early 1950s, initially appearing on "The Jack Benny Show" alongside Marilyn Monroe.

This led to roles on other television shows, including "Sheena, Queen of the Jungle" and "Adventures of Captain Grief".

Taylor's subsequent move to Mexico resulted in stage plays and appearances in Mexican horror films, such as "The Curse of Nostradamus" and "The Monsters Demolisher", under the direction of renowned Mexican horror directors Frederico Curiel and Alphonso Corona Blake.

In the early 1960s, Taylor relocated to Spain, where he secured an uncredited role in the big-budget historical epic "Cleopatra".

Taylor's enduring cult popularity stemmed from his memorable portrayals of elegant, yet decadent aristocratic types in a series of Jess Franco's exploitation features, including "Succubus", "Eugenie... the Story of Her Journey Into Perversion", "Female Vampire", "Sex Charade", and "Voodoo Passion".

Beyond Franco, Taylor acted in films for directors Leon Klimovsky, Armando de Ossorio, Jose Larraz, and Juan Piquer Simon, earning notable parts in films such as "The Vampires' Night Orgy", "Night of the Sorcerors", "Conan the Barbarian", "Pieces", "Iguana", and "The Ninth Gate".

Taylor continued to act in films with pleasing regularity well into his 70s.
