Summary
Leon Vitali was a rising British television actor when Stanley Kubrick picked him for the role of Lord Bullington in Barry Lyndon. That first encounter with the famed auteur proved decisive, and Vitali quickly resolved to devote the rest of his life working for the director, this time behind the scenes taking on just about every job available, including casting director, acting coach, location scout, sound engineer, color corrector, assistant director, promoter, and eventually restorer of Kubrick's films.Additional Information
