Joe Turkel, the Bartender in The Shining, Dies

This actor looked old even back then, working with Kubrick really sucked the life out of his performers!

I’m going to listen to “Midnight, the Stars and You” in his honor.

God he was so creepy in that movie ! In my opinion,he was a far better actor than JN. I wanted to love The Shining,but Jack just got on my nerves. He was great in The Witches of Eastwick though.

He was also Eldon Tyrell in Blade Runner.

Just saw "The Shining" again last week and commented to my companion that that character/actor was the MVP of the movie.

Demonstrating a classic "Kubrick Stare" in the shot above.
