Lloyd Jr. One of his older brothers, Samuel Lloyd, was an actor in the 1950s and 1960s. He is the youngest of three brothers and four sisters.

Career Life of Christopher Lloyd

Lloyd got his start as an apprentice at summer theatres in Mount Kisco, New York, and Hyannis, Massachusetts. In 1961, he made his New York stage debut in a production of Fernando Arrabal’s play And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers, recalling, “I was a replacement and it was my first sort of job in New York.” He had taken acting classes in New York City, including at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre with Sanford Meisner, at the age of 19. Off-Broadway, he has appeared in productions such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Kaspar (February 1973), The Harlot and the Hunted, The Seagull (January 1974), Total Eclipse (February 1974), Macbeth, In the Boom Boom Room, Cracks, Professional Resident Company, What Every Woman Knows, King Lear, Power Failure, and in the middle of 1972, he appeared in a Jean Cocteau double bill, Orphee and The Human Voice

Playhouse in Huntington Station, New York, on Long Island, and Andrzej Wajda’s Yale Repertory Theater production of an adaptation of The Possessed by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

About his time at the Neighborhood Playhouse with Meisner, he observed in 1977, “To that point, my output had been all over the place. I’d have a good night and then a boring one the following. Meisner taught me to always give an honest performance, making the most of my abilities. Still, I don’t think there’s a way to acquire the “knack” or “it” that makes you truly shine on stage.”

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), where he co-starred with future co-star Danny DeVito, was his debut film appearance. His character, Max Taber, was a psychiatric patient.
