WILLIAM HURT IS A WASTE!!!
He will always be an overrated actor.
Back me up Harvard?
Ah, Quiz Show. Another gem. God, I loved that scene. King Bodwain. What a masterpiece.
sharenice catch cup o cakes :)
shareWilliam Hurt is one of the greatest actors on this planet. Watch The Accidental Tourist, Body Heat, Children Of A Lesser God and The Doctor.
No he is NOT. Just to let you know I've seen 3 of the 4 movies you just mentioned plus countless other performances that make me want to throw up he is so bad.
shareThen watch The Accidental Tourist about 3 times. By that time you will be blown away how good he nailed Macon Leary. He became his character. Oh and watch Altered States, Eyewitness and Gorky Park. Those ones are some of his best.
I'm not going to watch the same movie with William Hurt in it 3 times just to see if he nailed his character... daniel day lewis does that and you only need to watch it once to figure that out
shareDaniel Day's a one trick pony. Amazing in My Left Foot and thats it. Oh and Madeleine Stowe out acted him in Last Of The Mochicans, why??? Coz shes a better actor than he is.
lol... a one trick pony? Daniel Day? LOL!!! Okay, now that I know I'm speaking to a retard... this discussion is over. Seriously don't bother posting I'll be too busy laughing at how wrong you are.
shareDaniel Day-Lewis- 1 oscar, 3 oscar nominations
William Hurt- 1 oscar, 4 nominations
Now I'm no Mathematician but I'm pretty sure 4 is higher than 3.
i had to come back... i had to see if you could post a more pathetic response than last time... i gave you credit... until I saw this last one... wow, you really are a moron... now i do see your great at math... but since when does have 1 more oscar nomination have to do with how good an actor is? the oscars are nothing more than another political award show that has nothing to do with real talent... can you make a more hollow point? it's like saying julia roberts who has an oscar is better than every actress who doesn't have one... thanks jordanfarts but you need brain surgery

Oscars don't mean anything. They don't make you a good actor. John Hurt should have won for A History of Violence. You're trying to compare an actor who is over the top ( and yes tends to overact) in Daniel Day Lewis, and one who is a little more subtle. They have very different styles.
Don't ever open your mouth till you know what the shot is-Glengarry Glen Ross
William Hurt. And he was awesome in that role.
shareYou might want to update your Oscar tally. DDL is streaks ahead of William Hurt as an actor, but then again he is streaks ahead of most actors, if they could subdue their egos.
William Hurt is not a waste and I don't know what twit posted this to begin with. He was excellent in this movie. I don't get the hate for Wm Hurt on IMDB. He was an excellent actor in the 80s and for some reason decided to get out of the business.
He's still great to watch. This is one of my favorites. Accidental Tourist, also. Talk about nailing Macon Leary, one of the most introverted, annoying, yet ultimately worthy-of-love creatures ever created.

At first I couldn't figure out why you thought William Hurt was so bad...until I realized that you think DDL is so good. Obviously, your taste is only in your mouth...
Even Winona Ryder out-acted DDL...
what is with all these idiots? maryb you are an even bigger waste than william hurt... have you not seen Lewis's work. Your taste is in much more stinky and vulgar places.
shareYou have no taste.
shareI just watched part of Broadcast News (I watch it every year!) William Hurt was my favorite 80s actor. Altered States, Children of a Lesser God and The Accidental Tourist, which is his best 80s performance. He was so good in The Doctor, he wasn't even nominated for this movie! Check out a more recent supporting role in Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner. Fans might also like Michael, love the 4 actors together and he's more subdued in this movie.
