Danny Lloyd

The Shining was one of the most talked-about films of the 1980s, and it is still highly acclaimed today. Danny Lloyd played the role of Danny Torrance, the son of the movie’s main character. Despite the success of his performance in The Shining, Lloyd left Hollywood to pursue a different career.

According to Danny Lloyd himself, he left the spotlight mainly because he couldn’t score any acting jobs as time passed by — still, the young actor wasn’t bothered by it. Lloyd pursued an education and now works as a Biology professor at a community college in Kentucky.
