RIP William Hurt

Natural Causes at 71 . Oh Oh I'm almost 71.

Sad news. I always liked him, to my amateur's eye he had a particularly compelling style of acting.

The last thing I saw him in was the TV show Condor. As usual I really liked him in that and was really bummed when they killed off his character.

On it goes.

He was in a season or two of Goliath.  Which consistently has great casting beyond the main ensemble.

Solid work over a long time.  

He had advanced terminal prostate ca with mets 

Sadly, very terminal.

 

He was in Children of a Lesser God, 1986, quite a movie.

So many great movies in the 80's
