Michael Rennie (25 August 1909 – 10 June 1971) was an English film, television, and stage actor, perhaps best known for his 1951 starring role as the space visitor Klaatu in the 20th Century Fox classic science fiction film, The Day the Earth Stood Still. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Rennie appeared in 50-plus films and in several American television series.
Eric Alexander Rennie was born in Idle near Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire. He received his education at the Leys School, Cambridge. Rennie tried out a number of occupations, including periods as car salesman and as the manager of his uncle's rope factory; before deciding (at the time of his 26th birthday, in 1935) on a career as an actor. Retaining his surname but adopting Michael as his professional name, the 6' 4" tall Rennie first appeared onscreen in an uncredited bit part in the Alfred Hitchcock film Secret Agent (1936).
During the late 1930s, Rennie served his apprenticeship as an actor, gaining experience while touring the regions in repertory theatre. There is evidence that, at the age of 28, he was noticed by one of the British film studios, which arranged a screen test. The 1937 screen test, which exists in the British Film Institute archives under the title "Marguerite Allan and Michael Rennie Screen Test," did not lead to a film career for either performer. In Secret Agent, he was primarily a stand-in for leading man Robert Young. He also played other bit parts and minor unbilled roles in ten additional films produced between 1936 and 1940; by the time the last of these was released, Pimpernel Smith (1941), Rennie was serving in the Royal Air Force.

Climax S01E34 Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde. with Michael Rennie
I used to try to make something out of nothing
Whatever it is I was doing wasnt working
But now I see because my eyes are finally open
You were meant for me
Like a thieve caught cold in the light
I was headed left now you got me going right
You woke me up in the middle of my life
You were meant for me
And you changed me, and you changed the way
You changed the way I look at love, and you changed me
And you changed the way; you changed the way I look at love
So here I go you got me talking about forever
When up till now all I ever said was never
So whod a thought we would ever be together
You were meant for me
You stuck around when everybody else was sleeping
Its so hard finding someone to believe in
Youre the only reason my heart is still beating
You were meant for me
You changed me you changed the way
You changed the way I look at love
And you changed me
And you changed the way
You changed the way I look at love
You shook me up
And I never saw Im shaking
Its just enough
Now my hearts unbreaking
You were meant for me
And I know and I know Ill always feel this way
And I know and I know Ill always feel this way
And you changed me you changed the way
You changed the way I look at love
You changed me and you changed the way
Yeah you changed the way I look at love
You changed me and you changed the way
You changed the way I look at love
And you changed me
