a biography by Hal Erickson:

say literally:

American actor Joe Turkel had at least one movie leading role,
as the Genie in the 1961 kiddie-matinee feature The Boy and the Pirates.
Otherwise he seldom rose any farther than featured billing (sometimes,
as in Harold and Maude [1971], he got no billing at all).

In films since the late '40s, Turkel essayed character parts
in such productions as City Across the River (1949),
Visit to a Small Planet (1959), The Sand Pebbles (1966),
Hindenberg (1977) and Blade Runner (1980) (as Tyrrell);
though firmly entrenched in Hollywood, he occasionally grabbed
a quick paycheck in such exploitation flicks
as Savage Abduction (1975), which afforded him star billing
if not a whole lot of prestige.

Joe Turkel is best remembered by "auteur" critics
for his appearances in the films of director Stanley Kubrick:
He played Tiny in The Killing (1955),
Private Arnaud in Paths of Glory (1957),
and the other-worldly bartender Lloyd in The Shining (1978).

Living and enjoying his life in southern California,

Doctor Eldon Tyrell, re-surfaces for his fans.
