LIPA pays tribute to Sir John Hurt

Mark commented: “Because John deliberately refused to be play the same part twice (if he could either avoid it or afford not to), it was stupidly surprising to meet the actual person, which we did when he sat in conversation with me, surrounded by students. Although he devoted himself to portraying the people he represented, he treated acting as a job and so was brisk and matter-of-fact about what needed to be done. He knew he was blessed with a voice you could recognise the moment he’s spoken a few words.”

“The Acting world has lost a man always worth watching. Our thoughts are with his wife Anwen, family and friends.”
