[Arjen Robben]

 

Quote

The British actor of stage and screen also received an Academy Award nom for 'Midnight Express' and was memorable in 'Alien,' three Harry Potter films and 'Doctor Who.'

John Hurt, the esteemed British actor known for his burry voice and weathered visage — one that was kept hidden for his most acclaimed role, that of the deformed John Merrick in David Lynch’s The Elephant Man — has died, according to reports from several British newspapers. He was 77.

The two-time Oscar nominee's six-decade career also included turns on the BBC’s Doctor Who and in A Man for All Seasons (1966), Midnight Express (1978) and three Harry Potter films.

He announced in June 2015 that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Dammit. 

One of my favorite actors, whether he was playing a good guy, a bad guy or just a supporting role. 

And I marked like a motherfucker when he showed up on Doctor Who.

Dammit 2017, I already told you not to start.

So I guess Indiana Jones 5 won't have practically any of the side characters from the previous films.

I've been watching through the Indiana Jones series today, and I'm JUST to about to start 4 when I see this. Not his best film, I know, but he's a treasure wherever he appears.

A terrific actor who lived a long life.

A man of ridiculous talent, an actor with a terrific presence who had that knack for making everything he's in better. He'll be missed.

When it comes to celebrity deaths, 2017 is already filled with Moore Hurt.
