Christopher Allen Lloyd (born October 22, 1938) is a three-time Emmy Award-winning American actor. He is well known for for his roles as Emmett "Doc" Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy, Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Uncle Fester in The Addams Family and Addams Family Values, as well as Reverend Jim Ignatowski on television's Taxi. His unique voice has also made him popular with animation, frequently voicing villains.

Lloyd was born in Stamford, Connecticut, to Ruth Lapham (the sister of San Francisco mayor Roger Lapham) and Samuel R. Lloyd.[1] He attended the Fessenden School, a prestigious pre-preparatory school in Newton, Massachusetts. Lloyd was raised in New Canaan, Connecticut and Westport, Connecticut where he graduated from Staples High School in 1958. His mother, Ruth, donated the historical Waveny Park to the town. Since its donation, the mansion and its land have become a well renowned park in the town.

Lloyd seldom appears in public or gives interviews (he gave a rare interview on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Family Films in 2005). Some of his best friends, co-stars and fans who've met him describe Lloyd as a very shy and quiet man. His nephew, Sam Lloyd, is best known for playing Ted Buckland, the lawyer on Scrubs. Christopher Lloyd was married from February 1991 to December 2005 to writer/producer Jane Walker Wood; this was his third marriage.
