that John guy had a unique look..how come I never saw him in anything else?
"ah have always depended upon the strangeness of kindness..."
For a change, in Alien, he had a deformed creature pop out of his stomach.
shareActing was too painful for him. He Hurt.
shareJohn Hurt is only one the most respected actors of his generation. He's brilliantly talented and versatile. I am so relentlessly embarrassed by my fellow Americans. No wonder so many in the world can't stand us.
shareYes. I'm not sure if I should be killed or just simply castrated for joking about the acting force that is John Hurt. Perhaps, if you worship him further, he will be elevated to omnipotent being and can strike me down himself. I would be unworthy of such a death but would gladly embrace it.
shareAlthough he was never actually cast in another major film, he was second in line to play a large number of Hollywood roles. To name a few:
One of the kidnappers in Fargo
The protagonist in The 40 Year Old Virgin
Mathesar in Galaxy Quest
Fredo Corleone in The Godfather films
Freddie Quell in The Master
Tyler Durden in Fight Club
Berty in The King's Speech
Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder
Inspector Javert in Les Miserables
Arnie Grape in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Wilson in Cast Away
Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights
Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady
Julia Childs in Julie & Julia
Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street
When you picture him in these parts, you know they would have been much better films.
