Malcolm McDowell (born June 13, 1943) is an English actor. He was born Malcolm John Taylor in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Acting careerPossibly best known for his portrayal of Alex in A Clockwork Orange (1971), he began his professional life serving drinks in his parents' pub and then as a coffee salesman (the latter job providing inspiration for the movie O Lucky Man!) While enrolled in Cannock House School, he began taking acting classes, and eventually he secured work as an extra with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

McDowell regularly turned up on British Television productions in the early 1970s in adaptations of theatre classics. He co-starred in Voyage of the Damned (1976), and made a favourable Hollywood-movie debut as H. G. Wells in Time After Time (1979). McDowell played mainly villainous parts in the late 1970s and 1980s — none more notorious than the title character in the controversial Caligula (1979). He also appeared in the 1983 action film Blue Thunder as F.E. Cochrane, and the 1982 remake of Cat People. In 1983 he starred in Get Crazy as Reggie Wanker, a broad satire of Mick Jagger.
