Award-winning British actor and knight John Hurt died at 77 Friday, roughly a year and half after announcing he had pancreatic cancer, Mashable has confirmed.
The actor of stage and screen had hundreds of credits dating back into the 1960s, but he was most known for his roles in Alien, 1984, Doctor Who and The Elephant Man. For a younger generation, he was known for playing the wandmaker Garrick Ollivander who appeared in three of the Harry Potter films.
