Career
He was born Philip Stones in Kirkstall, Leeds. He appeared in three successive 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 original caretaker who murdered his family in The Shining (1980).[2] The only other actor to be credited in three Kubrick films is Joe Turkel.
