All about this star

Filmography:

John Hurt has enjoyed the most amazing career. Making his film debut alongside Ian McShane and Johnny Briggs from Coronation Street, he then broke through playing Quentin Crisp, proceeding to become one of the UK's finest character actors. Remember his vicious Caligula in I, Claudius, his broken prisoner in Midnight Express, his traumatised yet all-too-human Elephant Man? The list below contains a welter of such superb performances.
