But whereas we all frequently associate Sean Bean with his high death ratio, John Hurt isn't really the first person that springs to mind when you say: "Actors who have died a lot." But the truth is that he's always dieing. Yes, John Hurt makes Sean Bean look like . Given the truly awesome length of his career, however, it makes sense that he'd have racked up a fair few on-screen kills - but over 40? That's excessive, even for somebody who has appeared in lots and lots of movies. What's odd about this, of course, is that Hurt often plays posh, gentlemanly characters - the sorts you wouldn't always expect to wind up as battered mince meat. Then again, he was responsible for what might just well be the most famous death scene in all of cinema history. Did somebody say Chestburster? Like this article? Got any to add?
