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.

Another terrible loss, such a great and diverse actor.

R.I.P. John, we'll never forget Kane.

Another well known and liked actor gone , you will be missed , RIP John

As further tribute to John, here's a list of the movies from my collection in which he appeared.

Alien
Contact
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
Hellboy
Hellboy 2
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The Lord of the Rings (Bakshi animated version...he was the voice of Aragorn!)
Snowpiercer
V for Vendetta

Also (two of my favorites):

Elephant Man (1980 -- as John Merrick, the E-man)
Man for All Seasons (1966-- as Richard Rich, whose perjury sent More to the block)

He was also the voice of the dragon in the Merlin series.

I enjoyed that show

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.

It was a really great show, I loved it. Fantastic cast.

Another crew member of the Nostromo passed into the great beyond today.
