    Still see Danny in those eyes, he put in one of best child acting performances in history for me, he was very cute and totally convincing...the longing to see him and his mother unharmed, I guess was a big part of the success of the movie and the emotional and psychological rollercoaster the movie is. Terrifying and textured on so many levels. One of my favourite movies, I had it on VHS, DVD, seen it 20 times or more, saw it in the 80s, my mother went to the cinema to see it when it came out.

    I actually went to an open casting call for this role when I lived in Colorado Springs. I was a couple of years older than Danny. My relatives knew I wanted to be an actor (or astronaut, race car driver, etc) and so they thought it would be worth a shot. The producers were holding auditions in a condo near Denver. It was very low key and there were very few of us kids around. When I went in, it was just me and a couple of casting directors, plus a guy with a video camera. So there was no reason to be nervous, and yet I was. They were looking for a range of emotions and I just couldn't do it. The last thing they'd be interesting in is a kid who's not at ease with a camera. When I saw the movie, I was blown away by Danny. He was SO good. Either way, it's cool to be linked in a tiny way to a film that's so legendary. Even if it means that hiring me would've completely ruined the film.

    It probably helps that he was able to see the movie at age 10, and probably more times after that, and likely had a lot of conversations about it. He kept bringing the memories back when they were only 5 years old, which probably "refreshes" the storage and brings them to the front of the mind.

Federico is not well-known for one movie (like "Gone With the Wind"). He was known for a whole string of movies that got better and better. I don't think one can compare directors like Fellini and Kubrick. If you are an American, you might not appreciate Fellini's magic. Kubrick was a genius and made a sh-tload of great movies, but Fellini was a titan in his own right.

    What a genuine person. I am so glad to see that the Hollywood machine didn't get ahold of this great guy and chew him up. I would have asked about the cartoon scene with Shelly, and how the tv didn't seem to be plugged in, and if there actually were cartoons playing on it, or if they added them in post. Although that seems like it would have been really hard with the tech at the time (the video anyway).

    Danny really looks into his audience members eyes and tries to work out each person's actual intentions to cater to their questions individually. he seems like a very caring individual. this reminds me of why a lot of actors become or have been nurses, carers and in the caring profession - because (great ones anyway) work with the tool of empathy. thats their strength... their weakness I suppose is self involvement.

    This was PRECIOUS to watch, thank you so much and Danny Lloyd was fantastic. However I just have to say one thing, and I say this teasingly: shame on the people there for not asking anything about Scatman Crothers or Shelley Duvall, both who are just as great in that movie as Nicholson (who Lloyd gets asked about at least two or three times)! Thankfully, Lloyd himself brought up some great stuff about Shelley (with whom he shares the most scenes), and he brings up that incredible scene with Scatman a bit. This was great, don't get me wrong! I just wish people wouldn't get so hung up on a loop of Nicholson and these idiotic "Room 237" questions (if you need a Kubrick movie to overanalyze, start with 2001 and proceed to Clockwork)! He says right away that he didn't have many scenes with Jack and gives you his impressions and memories of the man, and at some length. So why not ask about somebody else, rather than make him repeat what he had just said? Nobody loves a good Jack story more than me, but people really take those other actors for granted. The Shining without Shelley as Wendy? As a foil to Jack? Fantastic casting choice. In the book, she's a pretty blonde, ala every movie you've ever seen. In the movie, she's brunette and wide-eyed, she's kooky, she's interesting, and she's as weird as Jack and Danny, or any classic Kubrick character. The second greatest female performance in a Kubrick film! (The first is another Shelley........Winters! In "Lolita"). (Right?) :D Seriously, though, this was so great to watch! The fact that he became a biology professor, wow. What a great, cool guy.

    He seems like such a nice humble guy. He played an iconic role in an iconic movie based on an iconic book. Saw the movie when I was 12 and it gave me nightmares. No other movie has ever done that to me. His performance made the movie even more chilling as he was such a striking and serious looking child. That juxtaposed to the scenes when he looks absolutely terrified was so effective. One question that stands out to me is how did they get him to do the scene where he is in that catatonic shaking state and saliva is dripping from his mouth? Very disturbing scene for a 5 year old.

    He is kinda living the best of both worlds, which is an enviable position to be in. He got to play a main character in a movie directed by Kubrick that will always be in a discussion about best horror movies. But because he quit acting, he doesn't have to worry about people asking for autographs, about paparazzi taking photos of him without his consent and all that crap actors have to deal with.

    Danny Lloyd was a gifted child actor in THE SHINING. His scary expressions he gave cause he and Scatman Crothers knew what was happening before anyone else. So that's what was scary to me. Of course Jack going mad the more they stayed at the Overlook. This was one of my favorite Stanley Kubrick pictures.

    That lady talking about continuity when danny is on the floor is very important. The rug danny is setting on is a close replica of the apollo 11 launch site at the Kennedy space center. He has 10 cars he is playing with and a tennis ball is rolled in his direction. Making 11 items.when danny stands up he is wearing a hand made sweater with a Saturn 5 rocket and its marked apollo 11.the rug is one way and the next scene its reversed. That's probably something Kubrick did to give this scene extra attention many years later.

    Fascinating! Not surprising he's so intelligent and well-spoken as an adult given his perfect performance in the movie as a 5 year-old. He's all but unrecognizable...unless you look closely at his eyes. Then it's Danny Torrance for sure. The hospital scene he mentions was definitely in the film. I saw it opening day at Hollywood's Chinese Theater, and that scene was there. In it, Halloran tells Wendy, who sits up in her hospital bed, that they found nothing like what she'd described at the Overlook. Kubrick cut it after those initial performances, probably for time's sake. BTW, seeing Lloyd as a middle-aged man REALLY makes me feel old, given I was younger than he is now when I first saw The Shining!
