Joey Russ 7,263 Posted May 17, 2018 Decided to give him a thread since he has terminal prostate cancer. Maybe not the best pick for next year, but he's definitely one to watch. Definitely can see him on the deathlist if the cancer gets worse... EDIT: Here's the article that mentions his illness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,263 Posted May 17, 2018 If he goes sooner than I expect, he would be the first MCU film actor in somewhat of a major role to die. For those of you who don’t know who I’m talking about, he plays General Thaddeus Ross: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,074 Posted May 17, 2018 I was thinking about whether to post it or not. Maybe he was msc's mystery name? Curiously, "William Hurt cancer" is a popular search term but it was unknown to me. He was picked by someone in the DDP in 2014. Anyway, I assume it's not very aggressive considering he's had it for years. But you never know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThePrematureBurial 224 Posted December 13, 2018 According to imdb, he just completed two films & has another two films in pre-production. But this is not saying much, since actors like Alan Rickman worked until the end. He is definitely famous enough to deserve a place on next year's death list.

Yes, and while we’re at it why not put some other very famous people in their 60’s with no known ailments on the list next year. Great idea, thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,640 Posted March 13, 2022 This thread, like many others, surely needed to be created! Made in 2018 with barely any mention until his death! Add it to the list of notable people who have a thread. That being said RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dead Wait 1,156 Posted March 13, 2022 In conversation during the last year someone said to me ‘I can’t remember if it is John or William Hurt who died and which one is in the Marvel films’. Seems that may be easier to answer now……..both dead! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,704 Posted March 14, 2022 Life imitates The Big Chill. Apart from the suicide bit. He was in some ok films, but he used to annoy me for some reason. Too mannered, too consciously actorly or something. I feel the same way about other respected actors, like Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Alan Rickman. I dunno, it’s probably just me.

RIP William Hurt - loved you as sleazy lawyer Ned in Body Heat (although loved Kathleen Turner more - she was hot in that film). Despite Joey saying definitely one to watch in 2018 nobody was watching and doesn't seem to be a pick in 2022. List of the Missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and as he's died of the same cancer, apparently, this goes down as a bit of a fail miss by all of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
