actors William Hurt RIP

[Spike]

I just read about William Hurt. He was a rare talent that seemed perfect in everything he did; he was always memorable.

Among so many great perfomances, I especially remember, tonight, The Accidental Tourist, a movie I loved based on a book I loved. He caught Anne Tyler's tone, her quirky fussy guy, so beautifully. And also, recently, he was mesmerizing, in a relatively small part, in Amazon's Goliath.

Crap. I always liked Mr. Hurt as an actor, and I read around a little, thinking I might like him as a person. Oh well.

I saw him for the very first time -- and I believe it was his debut film -- in ALTERED STATES. He should have gotten an OSCAR nod.

Loved him in MR. BROOKS.
