Actor William Hurt died on Sunday, just a week before his 72nd birthday, according to reports.

Hurt’s son, Will, posted today that his father has died, Deadline reported. It was announced in May 2018 that the elder Hurt had terminal prostate cancer that had spread to the bone.

RIP, Mr. Hurt.



Without hitting IMDB,  what was he in?  The name rings a bell.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I think he might be best known for his role in The Big Chill.

RIP Duke Leto.

The only thing I can remember seeing him in.
