Great actor, R.I.P.

[Dancinggirl]

Great actor - very sad.  RIP  DG x

[babyjane]

Yes I don't normally dwell on celebrity deaths much but I felt this morning that the world is a poorer place without this fine actor.  Rest at peace John Hurt.

I've no idea what he was in 

[Two hoots]

Yes I liked him too, he did a series years ago called The Storyteller, where he read fairy stories or fables from around Europe, anyone else remember.  He was a classy actor and if he was in it, it was usually good.

A brilliant actor both on stage and in film but also someone who gave his time very generously to charities. So sad especially as, if I remember correctly, it had been thought that he'd beaten his cancer. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I've no idea what he was in 

More a case of what he wasn't in 

Among many many others I saw him in I Claudius, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Alien, The Elephant Man, Champions, The Naked Civil Servant, An Englishman in New York, Captain Corelli''s Mandolin

I believe he is in Jackie, the new release about Jackie Onassis.

An exceptional talent.

I Claudius - can't remember that far back  .  Kind of watched Harry Potter .... none of the others!

An exceptional talent Babyjane, check this out, and this only scratches the surface.
