Rest In Peace William Hurt, 71.

[K'Tesh]

Actor William Hurt, known for roles in "Body Heat", "Children of a Lesser God", "Broadcast News", "The Big Chill", and in the MCU films (as General Thaddeus Ross) has passed away at the age of 71. Apparently he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, though the cause of his passing was given by his family as "natural causes".

Love him as an actor. He knocked it out of the park in The Doctor. RIP.

He played Professor Waldman in a Hallmark mini-series of Frankenstein. Most faithful adaption of Frankenstein to ever be filmed, IMO. And what was the one where he was a scientist who start reverting to a caveman? One of his earlier films.

Watched him in Gorky Park just the other day.
I was always hoping they would make more films from that series.

He also played Professor Allen Hobby, the designer of the android "David" in "Artificial Intelligence: AI".

I struggled to like that movie until near the end; then I cried like a baby.

"Altered States" had some very scary (to me) moments: (the guy BARELY makes it up the stairs)

My three favorite William Hurt movies, Altered States, Body Heat & Gorky Park. Honorable mentions, Lost in Space & A History of Violence.

As for making more Arkady Renko movies, ditto ditto ditto.
