Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, UK:
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). Nel 2012 è stato insignito del premio BAFTA alla carriera, in riconoscimento del suo "contributo eccezionale al cinema". È stato insignito del titolo di cavaliere nel 2015 per i suoi servizi al teatro.
