I'd known he was sick for the past few years, but it's unfortunate all the same, even with forewarning.
I honestly always think of Lost in Space with him. It's not exactly a well-regarded film, but was still one I was very much a fan of as a kid.

RIP
His 80s run was tremendous, Eyewitness, Body Heat, Children of a Less God and Broadcast News. Personal favorites of his in the 90s are Smoke and Dark City.

You ever get that feeling like a tree has fallen? So sudden, so surprising… and you remember how magnificent the tree was and how the forest seems smaller without it.
That’s William Hurt. I was too young to really appreciate all his work, but I remember Children of a Lesser God, Broadcast News, The Doctor. Loved him in Jane Eyre. Most significantly of course, there is General Ross in the MCU. It’s just… hard to imagine movies without him right now.
Thoughts with his family and fans.

Damn, I just flipped onto Civil War on TV for a second right at his scene introducing the accords then read that he passed.

Makes me wonder if he had already filmed anything coming up in the MCU like Secret Invasion or She-Hulk.

He has a very complicated legacy (his abuse of Marlee Martin is something that doesn't leave me when I think of his legacy) he's a powerhouse of an actor with a checkered past. Hopefully he can be a cautionary tale as well as celebrated
