    No one could have played The Elephant Man more memorably. He carried that film into cinematic immortality. He will be sorely missed.

        He was great as Jesus in one of your films as well. Only special actors get to do that.

        Indeed. I saw Elephant Man when I was 7 in 81. Far too young. But that film and Mr Hurt left a mark in me that remains. RIP

        And NO ONE could have embodied the terrific agony, and the ultimate, soaring triumph of the heart, more than Sir John.
