Roderick Andrew Anthony Jude McDowall (17 September 1928 – 3 October 1998) was a British-born American actor, whose career spanned over 270 screen and stage roles across more than 60 years.
He began his career as a child in his native England before starring in How Green Was My Valley (1941), My Friend Flicka (1943), and Lassie Come Home (1943) in America. Unlike many child stars, McDowall evolved into an adult performer on stage and screen. He played Mordred in the Broadway musical Camelot (1960–63), won a Tony Award for his performance in Jean Anouilh's The Fighting Cock, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his performance in Cleopatra (1963).
