Very sad news, indeed. A fantastic actor who who has offered us countless excellent performances. The Elephant Man has been a personal favourite since I first watched that film many years ago.

It was mentioned in the article and I thought he was fantastic. In fact, most supporting characters in HP are superb (like Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman) rather than the main, younger cast.

Sad news indeed, John Hurt was an absolutely amazing actor!

Totally forgot, he played Jesus in "History of the World Part 1".

I'm surprised with how few people seem to be aware that John Hurt played John Merrick. Even if they didn't know beforehand, I'd have expected people to be more curious to find out who the actor behind that brilliant performance was.
