Danny Lloyd, an American former child actor, gained recognition for his portrayal of Danny Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror film, The Shining. He was chosen for this role, his first-ever film appearance, due to his exceptional ability to focus for extended periods, a necessary skill when working with the meticulous Kubrick. Although Lloyd’s performance in The Shining remains his most notable work, he did not continue pursuing an acting career and has since led a normal life. Apart from The Shining, he appeared in a TV film two years later and had a few minor roles in films and television shows.
