Full Joe Turkel Biography
Joe Turkel (15 July 1927, in Brooklyn, New York) is a prolific American character actor. He is noted for his craggy looks and distinctive, penetrating voice.
His most famous roles are Dr. Eldon Tyrell, the eccentric God-figure in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982), and Lloyd, the Overlook Bartender in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980). He has the distinction of being one of only two actors (the other being Philip Stone) to work with Kubrick as a credited character three times: in The Killing (1956, as "Tiny"), Paths of Glory (1957), a turn as the doomed Private Arnaud, and the previously mentioned film The Shining.
Other film appearances include a stint in Bert I. Gordon's The Boy and the Pirates (1960), as Abu the Genie, the 1989 horror feature The Dark Side of the Moon and The Sand Pebbles (1966) as "Bronson".
Television appearances include Kojak, Tales from the Darkside and Miami Vice (in the episode Indian Wars). |
