The latter reteamed him with Alexandra Hay, his co-star from the 1968 "acid comedy" Skidoo.[1] Early yearsLaw was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff John Law and actress Phyllis Sallee. He was the brother of actor Thomas Augustus Law (also known as Tom Law). He graduated from Hollywood High School.[1] His mother got him work as a film extra as a child, and had a non-speaking role as a courtroom page in John Sturges's The Magnificent Yankee (1950). [2] He attended an engineering college in California then switched to the University of Hawaii where he studied psychology and appeared in several university stage productions. This caused him to decide to become an actor professionally.[1][3] CareerLincoln Center and ItalyAfter graduation, Law moved to New York, where he studied acting and he signed a seven year contract with Fox. He realised it was a mistake and got out of it, then returned to New York. He had a small role in Garson Kanin's Broadway comedy Come On Strong (1962) which was a flop. [4][2] He then auditioned for the Repertory Theater at the Lincoln Center, and was one of 12 picked out of 30,000. He stayed there for three years.[3] Law was announced as part of the company in January 1964.[5] He was in their productions of Marco's Millions[6]; then The Changeling directed by Elia Kazan with Faye Dunaway;[7] and Tartuffe (1965).[8] He left the Lincoln Center company and travelled to Europe where he acted in High Infidelity (1964) and 3 notti d'amore (1964).[3] Early Hollywood FilmsOne of Law's Italian films was seen by the director Norman Jewison, who thought Law perfect for the role of a young Soviet sailor in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966) in September 1965.[1][9] The film was a big success and Law was launched in Hollywood. He followed this with a co-star role in Otto Preminger's Hurry Sundown (1967), a drama about race relations in the south. It co starred Dunaway and Jane Fonda. Dunaway played his wife. StardomFonda was going to star in Barbarella and recommended Law for the film. Production was delayed so Law played the lead in a Spaghetti Western, Death Rides a Horse (1967) with Lee Van Cleef, then the title role of Diabolik (1968), directed by Mario Bava and produced by Dino De Laurentiis.[1][10][11] Law eventually played the angel in Barbarella (1968), co starring with Jane Fonda and produced by De Laurentiis. He followed this with a small role in Preminger's Skidoo (1968), then had the lead in The Sergeant (1968), starring Rod Steiger as a soldier who lusts after Law.[1][12] Law went back to Europe to support Claudia Cardinale in a comedy, Diary of a Telephone Operator (1969). He had a key role in Hollywood's The Hawaiians (1970) with Charlton Heston and played the title role in the Italian Strogoff (1970), based on the novel by Jules Verne, Michael Strogoff. Law co-starred in Roger Corman's film Von Richthofen and Brown (1971), playing Manfred von Richthofen opposite Don Stroud's Roy Brown. Corman used Lynn Garrison's Irish aviation facility, complete with replica World War I aircraft. Garrison taught Law the basics of flying so that he could take off and land, making some of the footage more realistic.[1] Law was top billed in The Love Machine (1971), based on the novel by Jacqueline Susann, replacing Brian Kelly at the last moment. He was one of many actors to have a cameo in The Last Movie (1970). Law supported Monica Vitti and Alberto Sordi in Polvere di stelle (1973) then had the title role in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973). He co starred with Peter Fonda in Open Season (1974) and was in the TV remake of The Spiral Staircase (1975).[13] European StarLaw could still command star roles in Europe: he was in Doctor Justice (1975), A Whisper in the Dark (1976) and Tu dios y mi infierno (1976).

Law was top billed in Eyes Behind the Wall (1977), Der Schimmelreiter (1978), and The Devil's Bed (1978). He returned to Hollywood to play a support role in the TV movie The Best Place to Be (1979). He also supported in Ring of Darkness (1979). 1980sLaw went to Taiwan to make two films, Yuan (1980) and Attack Force Z (1981); the latter had a long life on video due to the presence in the cast of Mel Gibson and Sam Neill.
