EDIT: Yeah, it's him... that sucks.

He was in Alien, he was in V for Vendetta, he was in Elephant Man, as well as a bunch of other movies.

He was one of my favorite actors, he died way too young, they haven't released how he died, but he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago.
From what I read it could be that his cancer came back.

For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

It's Sir John Hurt if you don't mind...

from the Guardian obituary.
Hurt recalled rehearsing with Pinter when silver salvers stacked with gins and tonics, ice and lemon, would arrive at 11.30 each morning as part of the stage management routine. On receiving a rude notice from the distinguished Daily Mail critic Peter Lewis, he wrote, “Dear Mr Lewis, Whooooops! Yours sincerely, John Hurt” and received the reply, “Dear Mr Hurt, Thank you for short but tedious letter. Yours sincerely, Peter Lewis.”

Heads up Gen Xers
Masaya Nakamura, creator of Pac Man and Galaxian has died at 91.

I wonder what his WWII service was like in Japan ?

That would be interesting. His obit is interesting nonetheless. The closest I see to WWII info is in the NYT obit: Born in Yokohama, Japan, on Dec. 24, 1925, Mr. Nakamura attended what is now Yokohama National University. He studied shipbuilding, according to a short résumé provided by Bandai Namco.

Not taking anything away from the guy or implying anything, Pac-Man and Galaian were great, stole many rolls of quarters from me in my youth. But I looked for like 15 minutes and found no mention of WWII service. He was 18 in 1943, there is no way he escaped service to the Empire. Yet no mention of it.

Studying shipbuilding/engineering might have been the best the war effort could get out of him. Iunno.
