John Hurt

John Hurt (born John Vincent Hurt on January 22, 1940) is a legendary British character actor and Academy Award-nominee who portrayed Mr. Ollivander in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and will return to the same role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. At the age of 9, he decided to become an actor. After a stint in art school, Hurt returned his focus to acting as a member of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He transitioned from stage to television—a well-received performance in The Naked Civil Servant landed him the memorable role of Caligula in I, Claudius and began his trend of playing unusual or morally ambiguous characters.
