Good thing they got Goliath Season 4 finished. That said, RIP, I enjoyed many of his films and tv roles.

OP, because of "prostrate" cancer, YOU'RE dead to me.

I guess watching The Doctor will take on a different pall.

Does prostrate cancer Hurt? Or is it just silently deadly like high BP? Can lazy women get it too?

He probably got the cancer when he was prostrate in silk in Spider Woman.

I honestly think the drug dealer he played in The Big Chill was the real man. Depressed.

He used to abuse poor Marlee Marlin. I always loved his acting but now I cannot watch him without that ruining my appreciation.

He was intellectually very sexy back in the day, Body Heat era, and aged into a nicelooking old man. A very fine actor in everything he appeared in,, seriously. Shocked by his death. Shocked. :-/

He was great in Broadcast News as the dumb anchor who faked a tear on camera and became a star.

Sexy AF in BODY HEAT but that was it for me. Seems like an asshole too.

Was she shot by Alec Baldwin? LOL. Let's just assume every poor white girl has been murdered by Alec.

I seem to recall a ā€œLa Dolce Mustoā€ column in which Michael spotted William backstage after winning his best actor Oscar and thought he looked as though he was thinking, oh crap, I’ve got to take this acting thing seriously now.

My favorite Hurt performance was as Oberon for Shakespeare in the Park. He used his natural weirdness super effectively.

Great actor who appeared in a number of great films.

You probably had to have been around in the 1980's to appreciate how much he was respected during that time.

Also worked with an eclectic bunch of actresses over the years including Blair Brown, Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, Sissy Spacek (twice), Elizabeth Perkins, Kathleen Turner (twice), Marlee Matlin, Holly Hunter, Geena Davis, Renee Zellweger, Miranda Richardson, Juliette Binoche, Mia Farrow, Christine Lahti, Meg Tilly, Glenn Close, Mary Kay Place......just wow.

John Heard

...all of them are now dead.

I watched an 1980 film of his with Sigorney Weaver. It was a murder-thriller and was quite good. I recommend it to anyone who likes his hot 80s look.

by Anonymousreply 52March 14, 2022 5:26 PM

Can anyone else comprehend writing a post like that, at r52, and not including the name of the movie? Just, wow.

by Anonymousreply 53March 15, 2022 6:58 AM

And it was very slooooow. Watched again a few months ago. Hurt plays a janitor under suspicion of murder and Sigourney plays a TV reporter.
