May you rest in peace, John Hurt. I'll always remember you any time I see one of characters you played.

John Hurt was an Iconic actor from many films, tv series, Etc. from 1984, the Elephant Man, and Watership Down. Such as Richard Adams, he too lived a long life and with a career that lasted more than 50 years. May he be in peace. Thank you for all the works you worked shared with us, John Hurt. We'll be praying for you. :( This Saddening.

Now you are in a better world. He lived many years, that is the most important thing. Now you find all the legends that made this a better place, like Richard Adams.

He was great in the movies I saw him in aside the voice of Hazel...in ALIEN and in ROB ROY and the ELEPHANT MAN. So many greats passed away in 2017.
