He has worked in every major facet of the industry including radio, theatre, television and film dating back to the Great Depression, and at 100 years of age is the oldest working Hollywood actor of 2015. In the 1930s he apprenticed with Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre and worked with such influential companies as the Federal Theatre Project's Living Newspaper unit, the Mercury Theatre founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman, and the Group Theatre. Lloyd's long professional association with Alfred Hitchcock began with his memorable performance as a Nazi agent in the 1942 film Saboteur. He went on to produce Hitchcock's long-running anthology television series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and he directed and produced episodic television throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. As an actor Lloyd has appeared in over 60 films and television shows, with his roles including Bodalink in Limelight, Mr. Nolan in Dead Poets Society and Mr. Letterblair in The Age of Innocence.
