Biography
Norman Lloyd is an American veteran actor, producer and director with a career in entertainment spanning more than five decades. Lloyd has appeared in over 60 films and television shows. Lloyd is married and resides in Los Angeles.
Lloyd attended high school and college in New York City. He began his acting career in theater, first at Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre in New York then joining the original company of the Orson Welles-John Houseman Mercury Theatre. The Broadway role, playing Johnny Appleseed in "Everywhere I Roam," was selected as one of the ten best Broadway performances of the year.
Lloyd came to Hollywood to play a supporting part in Alfred Hitchcock's "Saboteur" (1942), starting a long friendship and professional association with Hitchcock. As the villainous Nazi spy "Fry", Lloyd got to fall off the Statue of Liberty in the film's climactic ending.
After a few more villainous film roles, Lloyd worked also behind-the-scenes as an assistant on Lewis Milestone's "Arch of Triumph" (1948). A marginal victim of the Hollywood blacklist, Lloyd was rescued professionally by Hitchcock, who used the actor in "Spellbound" (1945) and made him an associate producer and a director on the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1957.
He continued directing and producing episodic television throughout the 1960s and 1970s, being the first-season producer of Roald Dahl's "Tales of the Unexpected" (1979). In the 1980s Lloyd played Dr. Auschlander in the TV drama "St. Elsewhere" (1982) for six seasons. His numerous TV guest-star appearances include "Murder, She Wrote", "The Twilight Zone", "Wiseguy", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Wings", "The Practice", "Seven Days" and "Civil Wars".
Lloyd's most recent part was in the film "In Her Shoes" (2005).
Lloyd is the father of actress Josie Lloyd.
