This one stings a bit. He was fantastic in almost every role. The Elephant Man, Harry Potter, V For Vendetta, Alien, Hellboy, Doctor Who, among others. I think I read last year that he beat cancer but he must have been struck with another kind after. May he RIP

Oh shit here we go again. 2017 picking up where 2016 left off...

 

RIP John

 

I thought that when Mary Tyler Moore died.

Aye and Rene from Allo Allo (aka Gordon Kaye)...

Shit. He was good in so many things in so many decades. RIP :rose:

 

There were many times I thought "He's perfect for that part" and it would be something completely different from anything else he did ..

 

A natural, which, ironically, is the hardest thing to find in an actor

RIP to a total Legend! :rose:

 

Also, for other Doctor Who fans, February sees the release of the 4th (and now final) boxset in the War Doctor audio stories, which John Hurt recorded. The first three boxsets were great, and I was really looking forward to this one (especially as this one had the War Doctor reuniting with 70's companion Leela). I can imagine it's going to be a sad listen, now.

I wonder if there's a chance that the crew of the Nostromo die in the same order as the movie? :smoke:

 

Amazingly long-lived the lot of them.

 

Hurt was just fantastic in everything he did.

I don't know. The "actor" playing Jones probably died long since...and Jones survived the whole franchise.

Yeah but I'm referring to the human members of the crew only.

Let's hope Sigourney is last.

 

Oh wait. Isn't she technically immortal?
