Sir John Vincent Hurt (January 22, 1940 – January 25, 2017) was an English actor whose career spanned over five decades. He came to prominence for his role as Richard Rich in the film A Man for All Seasons (1966) and gained BAFTA Award nominations for his portrayals of Timothy Evans in 10 Rillington Place (1971) and Quentin Crisp in television film The Naked Civil Servant (1975) – winning his first BAFTA for the latter. He played Caligula in the BBC TV series I, Claudius (1976). Hurt's performance in the prison drama Midnight Express (1978) brought him international renown and earned Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards, along with an Academy Award nomination. His BAFTA-nominated portrayal of astronaut Kane, in the science-fiction horror film Alien (1979), notably included a scene where an alien creature burst out of his chest, named by several publications as one of the most memorable moments in cinema history. Hurt earned his third competitive BAFTA, along with his second Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, as Joseph Merrick in David Lynch's biopic The Elephant Man (1980). Other significant roles during the 1980s included Bob Champion in biopic Champions (1984), Mr. Braddock in the Stephen Frears drama The Hit (1984), Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) and Stephen Ward in the drama depicting the Profumo affair, Scandal (1989). Hurt was again BAFTA-nominated for his work in Irish drama The Field (1990) and played the primary villain, James Graham, in the epic adventure Rob Roy (1995). His later films include the Harry Potter film series (2001–11), the Hellboy films (2004 and 2008), supernatural thriller The Skeleton Key (2005), western The Proposition (2005), political thriller V for Vendetta (2005), action adventure Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), sci-fi action Outlander (2008) and the Cold War espionage film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011). Hurt reprised his role as Quentin Crisp in An Englishman in New York (2009), which brought his seventh BAFTA nomination. He portrayed the War Doctor in the BBC TV series Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor", in 2013. Hurt was regarded as one of Britain's finest actors; director David Lynch described him as "simply the greatest actor in the world". He possessed what was described as the "most distinctive voice in Britain", likened by The Observer to "nicotine sieved through dirty, moonlit gravel". His voice acting career encompassed films such as Watership Down (1978), The Lord of the Rings (1978), The Plague Dogs (1982), The Black Cauldron (1985), Dogville (2003) and Planet Dinosaur (2011) as well as BBC TV series Merlin (2008–2012). In 2012, he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement BAFTA Award, in recognition of his "outstanding contribution to cinema". He was knighted in 2015 for his services to drama.

Sir John Vincent Hurt (22 gennaio 1940 – 25 gennaio 2017) è stato un attore inglese la cui carriera si è estesa per oltre cinque decenni. È diventato noto per il ruolo di Richard Rich nel film A Man for All Seasons (1966) e ha ricevuto nomination ai BAFTA per le sue interpretazioni di Timothy Evans in 10 Rillington Place (1971) e di Quentin Crisp nel film televisivo The Naked Civil Servant (1975) – vincendo il suo primo BAFTA per quest'ultimo. Interpretò Caligola nella serie TV della BBC I, Claudius (1976). La performance di Hurt nel dramma carcerario Midnight Express (1978) gli valse fama internazionale e vinse Golden Globe e BAFTA, oltre a una nomination all'Oscar. La sua interpretazione candidata ai BAFTA dell'astronauta Kane, nel film horror di fantascienza Alien (1979), includeva in modo significativo una scena in cui una creatura aliena esplode dal suo petto, definita da diverse pubblicazioni uno dei momenti più memorabili nella storia del cinema. Hurt ha vinto il suo terzo BAFTA competitivo, insieme alle sue seconde nomination all'Oscar e ai Golden Globe, nel ruolo di Joseph Merrick nel biopic di David Lynch, The Elephant Man (1980). Altri ruoli significativi negli anni '80 includevano Bob Champion nel biopic Champions (1984), il signor Braddock nel dramma di Stephen Frears The Hit (1984), Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) e Stephen Ward nel dramma che ritrae la storia Profumo, Scandal (1989). Hurt fu nuovamente candidato ai BAFTA per il suo lavoro nel dramma irlandese The Field (1990) e interpretò il principale cattivo, James Graham, nell'epica avventura Rob Roy (1995). I suoi film successivi includono la serie di Harry Potter (2001–11), i film di Hellboy (2004 e 2008), il thriller soprannaturale The Skeleton Key (2005), il western The Proposition (2005), il thriller politico V for Vendetta (2005), l'avventura d'azione Indiana Jones e il Regno del Teschio di Cristallo (2008), l'azione fantascientifica Outlander (2008) e il film di spionaggio della Guerra Fredda Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011). Hurt ha ripreso il ruolo di Quentin Crisp in An Englishman in New York (2009), che gli è valso la sua settima nomination ai BAFTA. Ha interpretato il War Doctor nello speciale per il 50° anniversario della serie TV BBC Doctor Who, "The Day of the Doctor", nel 2013. Hurt era considerato uno dei migliori attori britannici; il regista David Lynch lo descrisse come "semplicemente il più grande attore del mondo". Possedeva quella che fu descritta come la "voce più distintiva della Gran Bretagna", paragonata da The Observer a "nicotina setacciata attraverso ghiaia sporca illuminata dalla luna". La sua carriera di doppiatore ha coperto film come Watership Down (1978), Il Signore degli Anelli (1978), The Plague Dogs (1982), The Black Cauldron (1985), Dogville (2003) e Planet Dinosaur (2011), oltre alla serie TV della BBC Merlin (2008–2012).
