2017 seems to be setting out to be as brutal as 2016.
Of course I will always remember John Hurt for Alien, but he was in so many other movies, always turning in a good performance. He was such a good actor and I will miss him.

Hurt was one of my favorite actors. I always looked forward to anything he was in. Sad loss.

I did a bit of work on that show at the start of my career. Knowing he was involved was the main attraction to it. Such a shame.
