Biography
Joseph Turkel (July 15, 1927 – June 27, 2022) was an American actor. A career character actor, he was noted for his craggy Bronx looks and distinctive, penetrating voice. Turkel worked steadily from 1949 to 1998 in both films and television, including in the Stanley Kubrick films The Killing (1956), Paths of Glory (1957), and The Shining (1980). He still made the occasional appearance at fan conventions into his 90s.
