Altered States is a great film.

Very talented actor with some impressive credits.

RIP

I liked him. Altered States, The Big Chill, Body Heat, and my favorite, The Accidental Tourist. RIP William Hurt.

Sorry to hear that. He was a good actor.

RIP.

This may be a little to known role for him but I'll always remember him for his part in Stephen King's TV mini series Nightmares and Dreamscapes. He played a hitman who gets taken down by toy soldiers. He hardly utters a single work for the whole 45 minutes, some of the best acting I've ever seen.

I’m a pretty big King fan but never heard of that mini-series. The toy soldiers story was in one of his early short story collections and was pretty good.

I always loved that story too! I think it was in Night Shift which was good as well.

You're really in for a treat if you've never seen this! Here it is! Have fun!!!! They make it so believable too.

Excellent actor.

Mortality rears its ugly head once again.

Seriously? I read a Steven KIng short story about a guy in a hotel room a long time ago. The guy was either a toy company president or maybe he was an assassin out to kill that CEO. He ends up opening a box of toy soldiers that attack him. In the ending there is a huge explosion and the label from that toy floats down after the explosion and it is labeled a toy nuclear bomb. Does this sound like the movie or similar to it? I remember as i read it, I thought it would make a good twilight zone.

I didn't notice this was the entire episode until after I replied the first time. I will have to watch it. Sounds very close to teh short story I read. Thanks for sharing.
