Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
After giving up his training as a painter at London's St. Martin's School for Art, John Hurt made his London stage debut in 1962 as Knocker White in "Infanticide in the House of Fred Ginger," a performance that ensured his continuance of a career before the footlights. (The gifted young thespian went on to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company and over the years, he appeared in numerous productions with them.) Hurt also made his film debut in 1962 with a role in The Wild and the Willing International recognition followed his vibrant performance in Fred Zinnemann's 1966 classic, A Man for All Seasons which won six Oscars. Hurt, a quiet, somewhat sinister looking fellow who's never as effective as when he's limning characters who dwell in their dark sides, alternated movie work with stage stints. |  |
