So I was filling out my pimpin’ March Madness bracket (obviously UK is gonna win it all) when word got to me that William Hurt died.
According to Marlee Matlin, maybe Hurt wasn’t the most pleasant person to be around (to put it mildly). Which is another reminder that Hollywood is a terrible, godawful place filled with fragile egos and needs to be nuked off the map entirely.
But this is also a reminder that some of my favorite artists and actors are passing on and we should appreciate their art while they’re still fresh in our collective consciousness. Some of my favorite performances from Hurt are in Ken Russell’s Altered States, Lawrence Kasdan’s The Big Chill, and David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence.
RIP
The Internet Ruined Everything 
I agree, news of his passing hit me like a proverbial ton of bricks. He was only 5 years old than me!

Yeah he was kinda young, but I try to not put much thought into the ages of people in Hollywood at their time of death. Most of them had access to illegal drugs that we’ve never heard of. So that lifestyle eventually catches up to you, ya know?
