Executive summary: Caligula, A Clockwork Orange

Malcolm McDowell established himself in a series of radical films in the 1960s and 70s, including If.... (1968), Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange (1971), and Bob Guccione's porno epic Caligula (1979). Yet in a radical departure to normalcy, McDowell made his American film debut in the romantic comedy Time After Time, as H. G. Wells chasing Jack the Ripper in a time machine and eating at a McDonald's in San Francisco. He has since settled for an endless parade of forgettable roles. He's played the Professor on Rhea Perlman's sitcom Pearl, replaced Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke in a failed reincarnation of Fantasy Island, and played the uninspired villain in the movie abomination of I Spy.
