John Hurt, the twice-Oscar-nominated English actor whose film career spanned six decades and multiple iconic roles, has reportedly died at the age of 77, according to reports in several British newspapers, including The Daily Mail. The cause of death was not immediately reported; Hurt was diagnosed in 2015 with pancreatic cancer, but in October of that year announced he was “thrilled” to have had his final scan, “and it‘s all gone brilliantly.”

John Hurt, the esteemed British actor known for his burry voice and weathered visage — one that was kept hidden for his most acclaimed role, that of the deformed John Merrick in David Lynch’s The Elephant Man — has died, according to reports from several British newspapers. He was 77.

The two-time Oscar nominee's six-decade career also included turns on the BBC’s Doctor Who and in A Man for All Seasons (1966), Midnight Express (1978) and three Harry Potter films.

He announced in June 2015 that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
