For all the amazing performances in his films, Stanley Kubrick was never the kind of director to re-use the same key actors over and over again. Only Joe Turkel and Philip Stone appear in three Kubrick movies, Turkel in The Killing and Paths of Glory, and Stone in A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon. And both in The Shining. This video essay takes another look at Turkel and Stone, Kubrick's favourite actors, and considers what defined each as a performer.
