10 Actors With The Most Movie Deaths
2. John Hurt - 45 Fatalities
It's with John Hurt that we start hitting the big numbers, with the critically acclaimed actor really living up to his surname via the way of all his on screen deaths he accumulated over a ginormous 205 movies and 50 years on screen. The man's a bonafide hero, delivering the good and bad of human existence through a myriad of characters he's stepped into the shoes of - and a whole helping of trauma with all the bodies he's left behind, too.
As seems to be a trend with the entrants to this list, John Hurt also has a fantastic death in the Alien series, dying in the first film to a chestburster breaking through his ribs and spattering his crew mates with his insides. As for all of his other moments in the afterlife, Hurt has a selection of just about everything from suffocation, to exorcisms, to all manner of gun wounds and stabbings.
Another favourite comes from his time as Hazel the rabbit in the animated movie Watership Down as his spirit peacefully hops out to adventure through new realms - one of the less scarring deaths that have found their way onto this list.
