Most famous for being the Elephant man, John Hurt was also in Alien, Harry Potter, Doctor Who and a slue of other amazing films. He was in, or involved in some of the most Iconic moments in film and TV history, and he will be sadly missed. R.I.P.

He also did voice acting. Provided the voice of Horned King(Disney's Black Cauldron), Aragorn(for Ralph Bakshi's version of Lord of the rings) as well as acting as Hellboy's adoptive father. I heard John was a very nice actor to work with. I was hoping that he'd overcome lung cancer, but in then end he lost the battle. Thank You John, for your talented acting. You will be missed by friends, fans, and family.
