ron obvious 1,502 Posted January 28, 2017 Wonderful, wonderful actor.This might sound odd, but for nearly all of us he isn''t dead, we only really knew him through his performances & they are there for all time (I wish I could have seen him on stage though). Thus, like all great artists, he has a very real form of immortality.RIP John. Ars longa vita brevis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted January 28, 2017 His legacy lives on in the recently-opened John Hurt Centre at Cinema City. A remarkable man and fantastic actor.A friend of mine who worked behind the bar at Cinema City once refused him discounted drinks because she didn''t know who he was and he couldn''t present a membership card... he took it in good humour. True story [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddycanary 539 Posted January 28, 2017 Very very sad news, a legend of the acting world. The sort of actor who you''d watch the programme/movie just because he''s in it. And what a voice. How many of his characters died! The 60s and 70s generation of celebrities continue to move aside and make space. Alien, The Field, Midnight Express, The Elephant Man, V for Vendetta, 1984, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Harry Potter, Watership Down, those ads for AIDS and so many other places I can''t even think of-he popped up every where.RIP John Hurt, your body of work & legacy has made you immortal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spillay 180 Posted January 28, 2017 Fantastic actor, a voice that was made for the entertainment industry, deserved far more Oscars then he recieved. The Elephant Man still moves me to this day. RIP sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marchant 5 Posted January 28, 2017 I have great respect for John Hurt, and would gladly have paid tribute to him before the game. I don''t really approve of this mid game applauding as I find their determination quite contrived and also think they are distracting, What if a penalty had been awarded on 77 mins or he had died at the age of 95?

Syteanric 1 Posted January 28, 2017 We''ve lost a few notable people over the last year but John Hurt was one of the first to make me very sad. voice that just grabbed you, A British legend and one of the best acting talents we ever produced.He loved Norfolk, and Norfolk loved him.R i P John Merrick/Ollivander/Kane/Hazel/Aragorn/dragon in Merlin and the War Doctor - "great men are made in fire, it is the honor of the lesser man to light it" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
