One of the most unique actors of this has sadly passed away, a shining star among peers and true legend
Both as a lead role, a hero, a villan, supporting roles and as a voice actor, the finest actor with few equals Edited by Icarium - January 28 2017 at 01:17 |

Very overlooked on the American side of the pond, I'm afraid. He was the hearbeat of I, Cladius and the Elephant Man. RIP.

Loved his characterizations in A Man for all Seasons and The Elephant Man. And then there's the infamous dinner scene from Alien.

Sad to read. I liked him in everything I saw him in.
RIP

Thank you for that video and for this topic. I used to be an active member of Amnesty International.
This was terrible news for me. He's been one of my very favourite actors and people for decades, and I did get the chance to meet him and speak to him briefly about twenty years ago. |

Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

Oddly enough, the first film I saw John Hurt in was Frankenstein Unbound. I loved his performance as the "War Doctor" on Doctor Who. R.I.P.
