The Bird o Donnell.
John Hurt is an excellent actor and can easily change into the character he is playing.

Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant. Absolutely brilliant. Caligula comes in a close second.

Second Quentin Crisp, with John Merrick close by. I haven't seen all his many roles so I can't really judge properly, all I know is the man is a genius.

i always liked him as Adam Sutler in Vendetta
especially the "warm glass of milk" part
Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.

One of his best performances was as Max in MIDNIGHT EXPRESS.

Giles D'eath in "Love and Death on Long Island."
That's also one of his best performances, especially how he makes an otherwise pathetic character (a celebrity stalker, basically) completely sympathetic and likeable.

I loved Giles D'eath, too - one of the most interesting characters I've ever seen on film. John Hurt did a beautiful job of creating him.

He is fantastic, isn't he? I was so looking forward to "No One Gets Off In This Town," in which Richard Kwietniowski was supposed to work with John Hurt again (the rest of the cast planned sounds fabulous, too). Alas, that project will probably die a development-hell death, because, apparently, Kwietniowski is not working on this film anymore, and the producers are incapable of financing it.

And an update on "No One Gets Off In This Town": dead as a movie project, but the producers claim it will be rewritten for a two parter TV project. I have no idea whether John Hurt is still attached, though.
