Rest in Peace Sir John Hurt
Bon Voyage, John.
His voice will be the thing I remember most. It was so distinctive, and it made his roles more memorable.
He really did have such an incredible voice! Did you ever watch 44 Inch Chest?
I’ve not seen that no. Is it good?
I enjoyed it, John Hurt’s character is totally incredible in it!
Such a brilliant actor, with so many memorable roles to his name. Always seemed like a great guy, too. Plus that voice…! One of the best ever, I reckon.
I totally agree!
And I had just watched him that day in “Jackie”. Sigh…
Aww I saw that last week
I really liked him in “V for Vendetta”. He seemed so ruthless. A very memorable performance – and a very different role from that in “Melacholia”. How did that man managed to do such distinctive roles and do so so brilliantly?
Very impressive wasn’t he! I thought his role in V for Vendetta was so interesting considering the role he had in 1984!
Ha ha, totally!
This one is a bit hard to deal with. I loved him in The Elephant Man and The Black Cauldron. His appearance in Jackie was also a pleasant surprise.
Yeah I had no idea he was in Jackie until it started which really was nice!
