Actor William Hurt has died at age 71

His final movie will be Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (I guess it's just his voice) and they're dedicating the movie to him.

Of course Twitter and other places will be dancing on his grave to try to cancel his corpse over the Marlee Matlin accusation from a decade ago.

They should replace him with Sam Elliot in the Marvel movies (who was Thunderbolt Ross in the Eric Bana Hulk), but he's being cancelled for shitting on that terrible Power of the Dog "Western".

Good actor. Guy seemed like kind of a douchebag outside of film though. Stories of drug and physical abuse with Marlee Matlin.
 
A great actor, no doubt. I will never forget his performance in Cronenberg's A History of Violence: He was on screen for a few minutes only, but that was enough time for him to leave his mark...
R.I.P...
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
The King is dead.

Who did you hear that from? :p

The wife says it was prostate cancer. That disease awaits us all if we live long enough. Get it checked!

Ha ha deaf joke.

She wrote a book a decade ago where she accused him. With the cancel mob culture it resurfaced a couple of years ago. Marvel has been under pressure from the mob to replace him, and they cut all but one of his scenes out of Black Widow as a result.
 
Everyone needs to be traumatized by Altered States.
I fell asleep on the couch many years ago only to wake up 2 hours later with Altered States playing on the tv. Wasn't sure if I was still dreaming or not because the scene I woke up to was tripping balls....of course I stayed up and finished it.

He was absolutely amazing in everything he did. His portrayal of Henry Paulson in Too Big To Fail was uncanny!
RIP

EDIT:
Not to derail, but since I don't have Thread creation privileges.

RIP to the Bad Guy(Scott Hall) as well who is being taken off life support today.. :(

Discovered in 2018 that he had terminal prostate cancer with bone Metastasis.

Nasty stuff. Surprised he managed to hold on for 4 years.
So he "lived up to his last name" his last 4 years.

Damn... Cancer is such a b*tch...I hope his family finds solace in their happy memories and that he rests in peace.
