Nobody suffered more exquisitely on screen than John Hurt. Damn!
Wow Mr. H! Only you could see it and express it like this, in a few simple words.
I love The Naked Civil Servant. It is a little gem of a movie, yet for me, it also has an overwhelming current of sadness running through it. Crisp had a life, yet at the same time, he had no life, and his tenacity, intelligence and humor gave him the tools in which to survive.

Caligula in I, Claudius.
Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-four.
Kane in Alien.
Chancellor Adam Sutler in V for Vendetta.
Joseph Merrick in The Elephant Man.
What has he ever done that isn't to love? Every production he was ever in was elevated by his presence. -

Hellboy (2004) . Trevor "Broom" Bruttenholm
Way too many great roles to choose from. I picked 3 that probably won't get a lot of mention from others but gave me great joy.
The truth of life has been revealed.
