John Hurt (January 22, 1940 - January 27, 2017)
Twice nominated for an Academy Award (for
The Elephant Man and
Midnight Express), John Hurt was an excellent actor whose work I appreciated in many movies, like
V for Vendetta,
Hellboy,
Snowpiercer, and of course
Alien.
He was great at playing scary, sad, or profound, all traits he put to good use during a career that spanned 6 decades!
RIP

It is a tragedy and an eerily timed one. Just as we enter this new Orwellian world order, this great actor who portrayed Winston Smith in 1984 with stark hopelessness, bows out before we deny that 2+2=4.
Amen to that my friend!
