Donald Victor Taylor (June 30 1936 - November 11 2003; usually credited as Don Taylor) was an English writer, director and producer, active across theatre, radio and television for over forty years. He is most noted for his television work, particularly his early 1960s collaborations with the playwright David Mercer, much of whose early work Taylor directed for the BBC.
Donald Dougald Taylor (born March 2 1923 in Auckland, died December 5 1980 in Epsom) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in 3 Tests from 1947 to 1956.
Don Taylor (born September 25, 1959 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian television and radio sportscaster.
He currently hosts Rogers Sportsnet Pacific's nightly sports news program Sportsnet Connected and also co-hosts the weekday afternoon radio show Pratt and Taylor on The Team 1040.
He is best known for his witty and comical delivery of the nightly sports highlights. One of his most recognizable trademarks is his imitation of Jerry Lewis when describing frantic plays (usually in front of the net in hockey). He is also known for his quick and comprehensive memory of past athletes and their jersey numbers.
Before working for Sportsnet, he was the longtime co-host of CKVU's nightly sports news show Sports Page and was also briefly a radio broadcaster with CKNW.
He has also provided colour commentary for different hockey video games including NHL 2002, NHL 2003, as well as NHL Rock The Rink which all were released by EA Sports
Don Taylor (December 13, 1920 - December 29, 1998) was an American movie actor and director best known for his performances in 1950s movies and the 1948 film noir The Naked City.
Born in Freeport, Pennsylvania, Don Taylor studied law, then speech and drama at Penn State University, where as a freshman he began taking part in college stage productions. Hitchhiking to Hollywood in 1942, the youthful Taylor screen-tested at Warner Brothers but was rejected because of his draft status. MGM, not as fussy, signed him to a contract and immediately put him to work, assigning him the minuscule role of a soldier in director Clarence Brown (I)'s sentimental slice of Americana, Human Comedy, The (1943). More minor roles followed before Taylor enlisted in the army, but even there he continued to act: Playwright/screenwriter Moss Hart chose him to play one of the leads in the Army-Air Force production of Hart's play, "Winged Victory." Returning to civilian life, Taylor resumed his work in pictures with a top role in the trend-setting crime drama Naked City, The (1948). In later years Taylor became a film and TV director, being nominated for an Emmy for his direction of an episode of "Night Gallery" (1970). Taylor met his wife Hazel Court when he directed her in a 1958 episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955).
Father of actor Jonathan Dryden Taylor.
