Very sad news indeed, RIPComment

Yeah, I have been following his illness. As soon as he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015...I knew he was on borrowed time.
Great actor, from Alien, the Elephant Man, to Harry Potter...tremendous loss.
He will be greatly missed.
I'm watch Alien tomorrow night in his name...sigpicComment

I'm currently watching "Hellboy" in his memory and will follow it up with "The Day of the Doctor." I wish we'd've had a bit more time to spend with the War Doctor, Hurt was great in the role.sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here!

One of those actors who elevated everything he was in. And often times hard to recognize, except for that voice. What a voice. RIP.

I can't pretend I knew him for his work outside the genre stuff like ALIEN, Hellboy, Indiana Jones, etc... but he was wonderful in whatever he was in.

God damn this sucks... I have never seen an uninteresting John Hurt performance.
From Caligula in "I Claudius"
to "1984" to "Alien" to so many
He was one of the great actors-- he could play high or low, noble or crass. And you never once, ever caught him reaching for an effect. The perfect pitch to his performances just seemed to come naturally.
I love so many roles by him, but one in particular which stands out was as the villain in the now-forgotten "Rob Roy" with Liam Neeson from 1995. He and Tim Roth were quite the due in that, and both were wrongly overlooked for supporting actor oscars.
