John Hurt.

Arise Sir John. Two performances for me and in no order. 10 Rillington Place and Midnight Express and a third as The Elephant Man

Dont forget Champions and his bit part in Contact......"They still want an American to go, Doctor. Wanna take a ride?"

quality actor

Two great tv performances. Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant and Caligula in I Claudius.

Great actor. Thought he might be considered too disreputable to get a gong.

 

[Dan Aitch]

I see a Brightonian got an award for services to a yachting club - her surname is "Barnacle". Best award on the whole list.

 

[Rogero]

I thought you were going to say John Hurt had died.

 

[Badger]

Well done, being knighted for simply being good at your job

 

[vegster]

Far too many roles to list but he always brings gravitas to any role. Amazing narrator too, Well done Sir John.

Maybe I have to name one role, " Control " in the recent Tinker,Tailor, Soldier Spy film was him at his best.

 

[Mowgli37]

Very well deserved and my congratulations to the War Doctor

Hate to say it but I still haven't seen The Elephant Man. He was superb in the Naked Civil Servant though.

 

[Mowgli37]

And of course who could forget, one of the best screen deaths in film history.

Now this might be a bit difficult if you are a pantomime dame.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

about time too,brilliant actor

love the scene from White Mischief when Greta Scacchi comes out of the water topless,no hold on a minute

the bit when someone says to John Hurt

'someone bet me a wager that I couldn't get more than 2 words out of you tonight'

he replies

'really'

and walks off

Better than the political party cronies and donors who are knighted simply for having their tongues and noses placed up the appropriate backsides of influence.......

 

[Goldstone1976]

If one accepts the honours system, and I know many don't, he absolutely deserves it - a brilliant actor.

Also his portrayal as Steven Ward (not the left back) in the movie 'Scandal' was excellent.

Well deserved award for a legend of British Acting

And James Corden gets an OBE. It neglects to say ' For services to -------' or whatever though.

To think Roger Hunt only ever got an MBE

 

[Motogull]

John Hurt is a top actor. Hope he's chuffed with his gong.

I'd like to congratulate Kristin Scott-Thomas in person mind.

I thought you were going to say John Hurt had died.

I thought you were going to say John Hurt was our new manager.
