William Hurt
Born: March 20, 1950 - Washington, DC
An extremely versatile actor, he studied theology in the United Kingdom and acting in Julliard in New York.
His debut in film was of an obsessed scientist in the movie Altered States. He continued to work prodigiously through the '80s and '90s, of which a good amount were of WASPy intellectuals. He has a mix of breeding and twinkling intelligence that allows him to pull of these types of roles, although he is not averse in taking on more ambitious, colorful characters.
Interestingly enough, he turned down roles in both Jurassic Park and Misery. An avid private pilot, he speaks French fluently, and is home on both stage and screen.
