Stephen Boyd
Born: 4 July 1931, Glengormley, Northern Ireland, UK
Died: 2 June 1977 Granada Hills, California, USA.

From Imdb.com: Born William Millar on July 4, 1931, at Glengormley, Northern Ireland. Mother was Martha Boyd, father Canadian truck driver James Alexander Millar who worked for Fleming's on Tomb Street in Belfast. Billy was one of nine children. He attended Glengormley & Ballyrobert primary school and then moved on to Ballyclare High School and studied bookkeeping at Hughes Commercial Academy. By 1956 he signed a seven-year contract with 20th Century-Fox. This led to his first film role, as an Irish spy for the Nazis in The Man Who Never Was (1956), a job he was offered by legendary producer Alexander Korda. William Wyler was so struck by Boyd's performance in that film that he asked Fox to lend him Boyd, resulting in Boyd's being cst in what is probably his most famous role, that of Messala in the classic Ben-Hur (1959) opposite Charlton Heston. He was honored for his work by receiving a Golden Globe award but was surprisingly bypassed on Oscar night. Still under contract with Fox, Boyd waited around to play the role of Marc Anthony in Cleopatra (1963) opposite Elizabeth Taylor. However, Taylor became so seriously ill that the production was delayed for months, which caused Boyd and other actors to withdraw from the film and move on to other projects.
