winnie&bezza Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 The great John hurt has passed on at 77 due to pancreatic cancer. Fantastic actor and Who can forget that alien scene. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I was surprised to hear on BBC news that he had died as nothing has been mentioned of his illness. Great actor with a very good voice for voice overs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 His distinctive voice will be missed . I once heard him in an interview asked about research for his part in the Elephant man to which he replied [ as I remember it ] " Good god no I'm an actor I let somebody else write the word I just act them" . To me that is the mark a a great actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 A friend of mine wife got chatted up by him when they were in Greece. John hurt was out there filming, she said he was a true gentleman and insisted that she and her husband joined them for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
