Academy Award-winning actor William Hurt died on Sunday (March 13, 2022) due to complications from prostate cancer. He was 71.
Though perhaps best known for his roles in "Body Heat," "The Big Chill" and "Broadcast News," for this community, he may also be remembered for his sci-fi credits, including the 1998 movie adaptation of "Lost in Space" and the SyFy Channel 2000 miniseries "Dune."
He was also in the 2013 television movie "The Challenger Disaster," which in a 2015 interview prompted The Guardian to ask him if he was interested in space travel.
"I'm interested in all horizons and what's on the other side of them," he said. "We know less about the ocean than we do about space. I like to swim, float and fly."

It's an irony that both William Hurt and Richard Feynman both succumbed to cancer.
