Early life
[edit]Philip Stone (né Stones) was born in Kirkstall, Leeds. He was the youngest of four children; his father was a secondary school headmaster.[1]
Career
[edit]He was the only actor to appear in three consecutive Stanley Kubrick films. First, he played the central character Alex's "P" (as in "M" and "P" for "Ma" and "Pa") in A Clockwork Orange (1971). Subsequently, he played Graham, the Lyndon family lawyer, in Barry Lyndon (1975), and Delbert Grady, the waiter/caretaker who murdered his family in The Shining (1980).[2] Stone was discovered when Kubrick saw him perform in David Storey's stage play The Contractor.[3] The only other actor to be credited in three Kubrick films is Joe Turkel.
Stone's other film roles included parts in Thunderball, Where Eagles Dare, Quest for Love, Flash Gordon and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. In the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated film The Lord of the Rings, he voiced the role of Théoden.[4]
Stone also appeared in many popular TV series, including the first two episodes of The Avengers (one of only two guest actors—the other being Warren Mitchell—to have played the same role twice in the series), Justice, Dalziel and Pascoe, A Touch of Frost, Heartbeat, Yes Minister, Bergerac, The Saint, and Coronation Street.
Personal life
[edit]Stone was married to Margaret Pickford until her death in 1984. They lived in Lindfield Road, Ealing.[1]
Death
[edit]Stone died in Ealing, London, in 2003, aged 79.[3][5]
