John Hurt dead at 77

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.
On screens big and small, Hurt died what seemed a thousand deaths. “I think I’ve got the record,” he once said. “It got to a point where my children wouldn’t ask me if I died, but rather how do you die?”

I will always instinctively think of that scene from Alien when I hear/read the words "John Hurt".

Looks like the Grim Reaper is on to round two for 2017.

RIP
Hurt was awesome, could be sullen and dreary and completely unhinged and crazy. Great range.

I will always appreciated his role in Alien, then duplicating it in Spaceballs with the line - "Oh no, not again...." Love this actor.
