When all you got is hurt...

For the longest time I was always mixing up John Hurt and William Hurt. Today I decided to do a comparison of the two actors in order to help myself and mankind forever know the difference between the two actors.

William Hurt 2005 Toronto Film Festival
William <----> John

John Hurt (British, 66 years old) 91 movies
William Hurt (American, 56 years old) 61 movies

According to Rotten Tomatoes: Worst film
John: Lost Souls
Will: The Proposition (No, not the new John Hurt movie)
Overall average rating of their films according to rotten tomatoes:
John: 61%
Will: 66%

Some of their best, according to me:
John: Alien, 1984, Elephant Man, Watership Down, Midnight Express
Will: History of Violence, Alice, Accidental Tourist, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Children of a Lesser God

Recent Film I've seen:
John: V for Vendetta
Will: Syriana

Total WTF they were in that movie:
John: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Will: Lost in Space
