  • Dennis Taylor (born Denis Taylor, 19 January 1949 in Coalisland, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) is a retired snooker player, and current BBC snooker commentator. Taylor is well known for his sense of humour and his trademark over-sized glasses. Winner of two ranking events, he is best known for winning the 1985 World Snooker Championship final, beating the heavily favoured Steve Davis on the black ball in a final often described as one of the sport's greatest.
  • Dennis Taylor entered the game industry when he started working in a small company called Viridis. The company didn't last long, so after this brief experience he rolled into Dreamworks Interactive where he worked on Small Soldiers, Medal of Honor, and Medal of Honor: Frontline. He joined Troika Games in 2002 and worked on Bloodlines's programming.
  • Dennis Taylor is featured in the first case as the victim in the Forensics section of Trauma Team. His case is named "Locked-Room Mystery". His death is initially ruled as a suicide, due to the fact that he was found dead in his apartment with a slit wrist, the knife near him, and his apartment having been set on fire. Naomi Kimishima hears his last words, however, and determines that it is a murder.
  • Dennis Taylor (born Denise Taylor, 19 January 1949 in Coalisland, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) is a retired snooker player, and current BBC snooker commentator. He has always been a powerful force in world snooker beating legendary names throughout his career, remaining in the Top 16 World Rankings for over 20 years. He is highly respected by his fellow professionals and peers and is now certainly one of the most recognizable faces within snooker.

He is highly respected by his fellow professionals and peers and is now certainly one of the most recognizable faces within snooker. Though Dennis Taylor has won many titles in his career, he will be remembered most for his 1985 Embassy World Championship victory. A record 18.5 million people tuned in to watch the conclusion of the match after midnight on BBC television where Dennis gained the upper hand at the mid session interval by kicking copper topped marvel Steve Davis in the nuts and threatening to "send Paddy and Gerry round to sort him out" (Dennis has alleged but unproven links to paramilitary organisations). Steve was so frightened by Dennis and his threats that he allowed the specky Irish pixie to win and after the match let him go round and give Mrs Davis a good seeing to.
