My favorite of all time was The Doctor, about an arrogant heart surgeon who becomes a patient himself, and learns how to be an excellent doctor! Every doctor out there needs to see this movie!

[ИванаКлевер]

I'm really going to miss not seeing you in film or television Mr Hurt. Thank you for a lifetime of outstanding work!!

[RonSwansonIsMyGod]

Favorite is definitely The Accidental Tourist. One of my all time favorite movies period. I was going through grieving myself at the time I saw it, which is what the movie's about.

[MidnightTales]

William Hurt was a great actor who made many movies and he was superb in all of his work. We have truly lost one of the best actors and he’s going to be missed he’s left us to soon God bless his family and friends. Thank you sir for the joy you gave us.

[shampaenayet]

William Hurt was my favorite actor. Soul-stirring performances, his deep, intense aura, and alluring voice are unforgettable. I watched many of Hurt’s films on video after release as I was too young for rated R. Kiss of the Spider Woman still makes me sigh, laugh, cry. ❤

[patrarus]

Thanks for posting this excellent mini-bio. Wm. Hurt was one of my favorite actors -- such a talented and versatile performer!

[nautilus.knowledge]

The Doctor. I’m surprised you didn’t mention that movie. It seems very relevant today. I hope others who love his work watch it.

[ideasmatter]

I haven’t seen many of his films, but I just saw him as Ahab in Moby Dick and it reminded me of how much I respected his work in some of this hit movies. I then watched The Yellow Handkerchief, and my opinion was confirmed. He just disappears in the role, and I love that! I saw Judd Hirsch disappear in a local production of The Grapes of Wrath, and it just does something to the audience. Time stands still. The theater itself is erased from consciousness! It’s the real magic of storytelling!

[lexoyunda]

oh no :( Such a fine actor. Really enjoyed his performance in The Accidental Tourist. RIP

[stephenpitkin]

I was recently refreshed by this wonderful actor in Children of A Lesser God. Another favorite is Altered States. I miss that gentle, far-shining light he seemed to exude.

[dianegordon]

I’m still not over his death. I just find him such an interesting and excellent actor . Great performances in everything he’s in . He’s artist with a n intellect

[kevinw]

Thank you for your composite story about WIlliam Hurt. " Kiss of the Spiderwoman" stands out; he was outstanding. Too bad their personal relationships end up front and centre; imo, he was a genius and they are difficult for anyone to live with. Again good work

[schwarz]

Loved the way he acted!! A great actor!!, GOD BLESS Mr.Willam Hurt.

[dannacolman]

He is my favorite actor. I created a Facebook group to share all the memories.

[sahte-obbm]

You've done well, sir. Thank you for your contribution to humanity.

[happykitybrawlstars]

😭 Oh, no! Such a talented actor, I loved him in so many movies! Accidental Tourist, Body Heat, Broadcast News, Gorky Park...

[ToddRock]

Like so many, William Hurt and DeNiro were my favorite Actors as an 80s High Schooler which I acted quite a bit...into College years and beyond.
Maybe not the best word to use but both were so... genuinely convincing.
Consumed in character to a level that this young actor, me, became a musician Instead.
The Big Chill- he was my fave. Paid to seee it twice - the 2nd time paid for 4 of us after raving anout the film to prove my point.
" I was never hung up on the whole competition thing.."
That delivery!
Altered States & Body Heat - 16 year old me and HBO-( thanks Dad(..
I watched both at least 20 times each.
His delivery, mannerisms...
To me it felt like he was holding something back... ...while at the same time giving everything to the scene, the character.
Playing off of Holly Hunter ( another supreme actor of course) Iin Broadcast News..?
I had 2 new Acting heroes after seeing it the 1st or 20th time, Hurt & Holly..
I know everybody' knows about what great performances William Hurt gave.
My thoughts are a grain of sand in the final analysis.
I've enjoyed reading others appreciations .
About time I expressed mine.
RIP & Thank You WILLIAM HURT ❤🎉

[yusufpasaoglu]

He was great in body heat, Rest in peace William, You've been a great actor

[ahmeterdemyardmc]

He was great in the movie Michael. Rest in peace.
