Cheers: Hurt So Good

Cheers to John Hurt for reminding us of his talent with a pair of Memorial Day weekend roles. The versatile British actor can be seen as demented professor "Ox" Oxley in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and as buttoned-down ex-Secretary of State Warren Christopher in HBO's Recount (opposite another gifted Englishman, Tom Wilkinson, as Republican counterpart James Baker). Hurt has always moved easily between small and big screens, making his name on TV as Quentin Crisip in The Naked Civil Servant and Caligula in I, Claudius before earning Oscar nominations for Midnight Express and The Elephant Man. If he wins an Emmy for his stellar HBO work, there'll be no need for a recount.• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more

And the story was ad... read more
