Just before his death he played the titular character of 'The Invisible Man', an audio-drama produced by Big Finish Productions. John Hurt is well known for his deep, raspy, almost croaky voice, and he was great at playing the deranged scientist of Dr Griffin.
In a medium where the only string to your bow is how you sound, John Hurt was a perfect choice to play the Invisible Man, and while the audio drama isn't released yet, the first 'chapter' is available for free, and it's already great to hear.
