    Broadcast News, great movie. Never forget the classic “flop sweat” scene with Albert Brooks.

    Wonder what those natural causes were. Seems sudden.

    Wiki says:
It was announced in May 2018 that Hurt had terminal prostate cancer that spread to the bone

    Crap. A grossly underrated actor. Altered States is an underrated classic.
