He’s not the only one. Anthony Peck plays one of the LAPD officers in Die Hard and the XO of the Dallas in The Hunt for Red October.

Who is the British celebrity (doesn't have to be an actor) who polished the axe for the scene in the Shining when Jack breaks through the door?

Answer below.





















ANSWER:

Simon Cowell, the reality TV star, polished Jack Nicholson's axe between takes for some of the most famous scenes in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining. Cowell was a teenager living near the Elstree studio where the film was made and worked as an on-set runner in 1980. His half-brother, Tony Cowell, said that Simon was proud of his polishing skills and that the axe was so shiny you could see your face in it.
