Christopher Lloyd Net Worth $50 Million
Christopher Lloyd is the youngest child in a family of three boys and four girls, one of whom, Samuel Lloyd was also an actor. His maternal grandfather was one of the founders of the “Texaco’’ oil company. Christopher first discovered his love for acting while at summer school when he was 14, and by the time he was 19 he was taking classes from the famous acting teacher Sanford Meisner at New York City’s Neighborhood Playhouse School. He soon made his stage debut as a replacement in a production of “And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers”. His Broadway debut was in the less successful “Red, White and Maddox” (1969), but he soon transferred to off-Broadway roles in plays like “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “The Seagull”, “Total Eclipse”, “King Lear” and many others. All contributed to his growing net worth.
Christopher’s first movie role was in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975), but he’s probably best known for his role in the TV sitcom “Taxi” which aired from 1978 to 1982, in which he played Jim Ignatowski, for which role Lloyd won two Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 1982 and 1983. His next notable part was in the “Back to the Future” trilogy, which brought him a Saturn Award nomination. Other important roles from that period include the TV series “Amazing Stories” (1985-87), as a Klingon Commander Kruge in “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock” (1984), and as Professor Plum in “Clue” (1985). Again, these appearances added to his increasing net worth.
Thanks to his distinctive voice, in 1988 Christopher did a voice-over for the villain Judge Doom in the half-animated fantasy-comedy film “Who Framed Roger Rabitt”. During the ‘90s, Lloyd also achieved fame by his appearances in several films and series, for example in the part of Professor Dimple in an episode of “Road to Avoniea” (1990-96), which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama Series. Also, his portrayal of Uncle Fester in the movie adaptation of “The Addams Family” (1991), starring alongside Raul Julia and Angelica Houston, is something for which Lloyd is remembered very well. Then Christopher won an Independent Spirits Award for Best Supporting Male in the 1993 film “20 Bucks”.
His recent achievements include two Daytime Emmy Award nominations for an Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program in 2008 and 2015, which he earned for his voice-overs in an American-Canadian animated TV series “Cyberchase”.
When it comes to relationships and love life, Lloyd has had quite an interesting time. He was married four times, firstly to Catharine Dallas Dixon Boyd(1959-71), then to actress Kay Tornborg(1974-87). His third was to Carol Ann Vanek in 1988, but which lasted just three years, and his last marriage was to screenwriter Jane Walker Wood from 1992-2005.
Christopher is a passionate cyclist and also enjoys hiking and fly-fishing. He currently lives in a modest home in Montana.
