Noah George Taylor (born September 4, 1969) is a London-born Australian actor.

Works

Raised in Melbourne, Australia, Taylor dropped out of high school at 16 to pursue an acting career at St. Martin's Theatre. After performing in plays there for a year, he gained the attention of director John Duigan, who cast him in the 1987 film The Year My Voice Broke, the first part of a planned trilogy. Taylor also appeared in its sequel, 1991's Flirting; the third installment has not yet been filmed.

Taylor first gained international attention playing the tormented young pianist David Helfgott in the 1996 film Shine.

Taylor's résumé includes action movies (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), comedies (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) and historical dramas (Max, in which he played the young Adolf Hitler.)

Taylor once commented in an interview that he was sick of acting out the nostalgic reminiscences of other people. He has done this in a number of films including The Nostradamus Kid which was based, apparently, on the memories of the Australian author Bob Ellis, and Almost Famous, based on the memories of the film's writer and director, Cameron Crowe.

Taylor currently lives in London.
