Lives Remembered: Sir John Hurt (Actor) 1940 - 2017In a career spanning six decades and more than 120 films, as well as stage and TV roles, Sir John Hurt specialised in playing eccentrics and misfits. From the pitiful heroin addict in Midnight Express to the self-confessed “stately homo of England” Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant and the greatly deformed John Merrick in The Elephant Man, arguably his most famous role. Hurt himself once conceded: “I suppose I have done quite a lot of outsider figures but then drama is all about them.”
