Biography
George Brown Randall (October 21, 1926 – May 12, 2026), known professionally as Jack Taylor, was an American actor known best for featuring in many European low-budget exploitation films of the 1970s, particularly several directed by Spanish filmmaker Jesús Franco. Born in Oregon City, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, Taylor began acting onstage as a child. During the 1950s, he began appearing in small roles for Los Angeles-based television series before relocating to Mexico and featuring in several films directed by Federico Curiel. Taylor had several minor film roles during the early 1960s, including Cleopatra (1963) and Custer of the West (1966) before having a major role in Franco's Succubus (1968). Taylor relocated subsequently to Spain, and appeared in numerous exploitation and horror films there, including Count Dracula (1970), Eugenie… The Story of Her Journey into Perversion (also 1970), Female Vampire (1973), and Pieces (1982). Later roles include 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992), Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate (1999), Daryush Shokof's A2Z (filmed 2004), and Miloš Forman's Goya's Ghosts (2006).
