Biography

Though his parts were often on the smallish side, British actor Philip Stone has been fortunate enough to appear in several international movie moneymakers. He was seen in the James Bond opus Thunderball (1965), in producer Dino De Laurentiis' Flash Gordon (1980), and in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1985) (as Captain Blumbartt). He had occasional important roles in a few non-hits as well, such as Hitler: The Last Ten Days (1973), in which he played General Jodl. Stone was also an off-and-on particpant in the long-running Carry On series of British slapstick comedy films. As a member of director Stanley Kubrick's informal "stock company," Philip Stone appeared in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1976) and The Shining (1978). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Other notable film roles included parts in Shadowlands, O Lucky Man!, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Flash Gordon, Where Eagles Dare and Thunderball. In the 1978 Ralph Bakshi's animated film The Lord of the Rings, he voiced the role of Théoden. Stone also starred in the Carry On series (Carry on Loving and Carry on Constable.)
