      This is another passing that has struck me deeply. John Hurt was one of those great actors whose success was due to his real abilities to bring life to characters in a film. Whenever he popped up in a film I always felt a smile come to my face as he did have a rare charisma. He played so many different roles in so many films and I doubt if we will see anyone arrive on the scene to match him.:love30:

        Definitely a class act(or), that brought that certain 'something' to a performance. A 'proper' actor whose like we won't see again. Not everyone's favourite film, but certainly one of mine...
        It's only a short clip.
