Name: Michael Rennie
Date of Birth: 25 August 1909 The British actor Michael Rennie worked as a car salesman and factory manager before he turned to acting. A meeting with a Gaumont-British casting director led to Rennie's first acting job - that of stand-in for 'Robert Young (I)' (qv) in 'Alfred Hitchcock (I)' (qv) _Secret Agent (1936)_ (qv) . He put his film career on hold for a few years to get some acting experience on the stage, working in repertory in York and Windsor. Afterwards, he returned to films and achieved star status in _I'll Be Y... our Sweetheart (1945)_ (qv). In 1951, he was brought to Hollywood by Darrel Zanuck at 20th Century Fox, cast in arguably his most popular role as Klaatu in _The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)_ (qv), now considered a science fiction classic. After that he worked as a supporting actor for eight years until his return to England in 1959. At that time, he took the lead role of Harry Lime in the television series _"The Third Man" (1959)_ (qv). Throughout his career, he made numerous guest appearances on television, particularly on American programs.Read more Michael Rennie movies (actor)
