London, England, UK:
Roderick Andrew Anthony Jude „Roddy“ McDowall (* 17. September 1928 in London, England; † 3. Oktober 1998 in Studio City, Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein britischer Schauspieler, der aber den Großteil seines Lebens in den Vereinigten Staaten lebte. Er begann seine Filmkarriere als Kinderdarsteller und konnte sie im Erwachsenenalter erfolgreich fortsetzen. Roddy McDowall debütierte als Kind in dem Film Murder in the Family aus dem Jahre 1938. Im Jahre 1941 hatte er seinen Durchbruch mit der Hauptrolle in John Fords Drama Schlagende Wetter, welches über den Zerfall einer walisischen Familie von Bergbauarbeitern handelte und mit fünf Oscars ausgezeichnet wurde. Zwei Jahre später spielte er in Heimweh neben Elizabeth Taylor, mit der er danach bis an sein Lebensende befreundet war. Besonders bekannt wurde er durch die Planet-der-Affen-Filme; später trat er auch in der Fernsehserie Planet der Affen auf. Vor allem in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren war McDowall in einigen Disney-Spielfilmen zu sehen, so spielte er die Titelrolle in der Westernkomödie Bullwhip Griffin oder Goldrausch in Kalifornien. Für seine Rolle als Octavian in dem Film Cleopatra war McDowall für einen Golden Globe nominiert. Er gehörte zeitweise zum Vorstand der Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Daneben war er ein gefragter Synchronsprecher für Spiel- und Animationsfilme, unter anderem als Stimme des Roboters „V.I.N.CENT.“ in Das schwarze Loch und in Das große Krabbeln, einer seiner letzten Arbeiten. Außerdem absolvierte er über die Jahre Gastauftritte in unzähligen Fernsehsendungen. Quelle: Wikipedia
