John Hurt, who starred in a slew of hit movies, reportedly has died. Hurt, who appeared in "Alien," "V for Vendetta," "The Elephant Man," 'Harry Potter,' "Dr. Who" and "1984," died Friday of pancreatic cancer, according to The Mirror. The actor was nominated twice for Academy Awards ... for "The Elephant Man" and "Midnight Express." One of his last movies has been getting lots of buzz ... he played the head of the israeli Mossad alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the Dan Berk film, "Damascus Cover." Hurt, a UK citizen, was knighted in 2015, the same year he learned he had cancer. RIP

I'm pretty sure that film starred American actor William Hurt, not John Hurt. No relation.

It looks like a strange movie and I love strange movies.

It is William Hurt but I have to admit that When I read John Hurt "Gorky Park" jumped into my Mind. A Hurts a Hurt no matter how you get it.sarc
