!!Tropes seen in:in his roles:



* CoolOldGuy:
** He had his own official [[https://www.facebook.com/johnvhurt?ref=profile Facebook account]] and frequently posted ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''Film/{{Alien}}'' related humour.
** Not only that, at the age of 73 he got to play a brand-new (or at least previously unrevealed) version of The Doctor, adding to his cool old guy cred. It has been said of him that, even in his senior years, he got to play a dragon, a wizard, ''and'' the Doctor, i.e. three of the coolest things in fiction.
** He was also a huge fan of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' to the point he could recite ''Jabberwocky'' from memory [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx-nONAYiMM as seen here]].
* {{Determinator}}: He suffered from pancreatic cancer, an especially devastating form of the disease that typically kills within a few months. Hurt hung on for ''two years'' after being diagnosed, and kept working the whole time, with him even claiming the cancer was in remission, until at the time of his death there were still three films he'd appeared in that had yet to be released.

* ChronicallyKilledActor: To the point [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk-ooDV2HE his official YouTube channel]] has a death reel. A research shows Hurt dies in about a third of his filmography. He even dies in a ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Pyramid}} documentary]]''!
