He was an absolutely incredible actor. He could play anything from the "War Doctor" in Doctor Who to King Lear's Fool. He will be missed.

RIP John Hurt. :( He really was an amazing actor and I've seen him in so many movies and UK shows. Remember him the most from the "Harry Potter" movies as the wand shop owner Ollivander.

A great actor. You hate him in King Ralph as Lord Graves(the guy who wants to make sure John Goodman's character King Ralph mess up so he can be king) or an alien coming out of his chest in Alien and other role.

RIP John.

Brilliant, fearless actor. He was great in so many films. I first became aware of him as Caligula in "I, Claudius." Unforgettable in The Elephant Man, 10 Rillington Place and Scandal.

I saw him once in the lobby of the National Theatre when I was in London on a school trip. This was when you could still smoke in a lot of places. I was too chicken to approach him, but retrieved his empty packet of Camel Lights when he moved on. I still have that packet somewhere!

One of those actors who turned up in lots of things and was always instantly recognisable - even if it was only his voice, as in the tv series Merlin. Which is why my most recent memory is of him as a dragon.

How sad that we have lost another wonderful actor. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

R.I.P. John Hurt
