Stone was the only actor to appear in three consecutive Kubrick films. He played the central character Alex's "P" (as in "M" and "P" for "Ma" and "Pa") in La naranja mecánica (1971), and then subsequently played Graham, the Lyndon family lawyer, in Barry Lyndon (1975), and Delbert Grady, the original caretaker who murdered  (see all) his family in El resplandor (1980).
