He originally didn’t want to act
Michael Tylo’s career is certainly distinguished, but fans will be amused to learn that Tylo didn’t originally want to become an actor.
“I never wanted to become an actor. In the sixties, I worked with Sir Tyrone Guthrie and was then a directing student. I always wanted to direct, but I had one of those faces that at 35 years old, I could still play an 18-year-old,” he told TV Scene.
“For example at that age, I played Lesley in The Hostage, and when you look like that, no-one wants to trust their budget to someone who looks like they just walked out of public school. But I decided to act anyway.”
