What Culture - British Actors Noah Taylor The 43-year-old English actor who seems perpetually younger than his years has been a stalwart of British and Hollywood films for more than two decades, almost always playing unassuming but likable and charismatic characters. What You May Know Him From: Taylor is probably most recognisable to general audiences for playing Charlie Bucket€™s father in Tim Burton€™s version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But he€™s also known for playing Bryce in the two Tomb Raider movies (shown above), Dick Roswell in Almost Famous, the caring but awkward father in indie gem Submarine and as the younger Geoffrey Rush in 1996€™s Shine, which was his first big role. in 2012 he played an uncharacteristically nasty character in the violent crime drama Lawless, alongside Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf.
