The American Hollywood celebrity is interested in technology and computers since he was 17. When he was promoting the Channel 4 Drama 'Humans' in which he is a main character, (last July), he was questioning about the humans being brave enough to build machines as true projections of themselves. He explained that the series was about elements that cross the line and blur moral boundaries.

When he develops his reflexion about technology and his work of an actor, he answers that his competition these days isn't another actor, it is a computer-generated image over at Pixar. He admits not being a phone junkie but still having two mobile phones, an iPad and a laptop. To finish, he believes that the human organism is the greatest computer that ever exist. 'I trust it and try to listen to it. The human heart is the most valuable thinker we have.'

Asked about social media in the Guardian, he said 'I use Facebook in private groups but I use social media networks as sparingly as I can. It can be such a black hole. Google's freakin' awful. It means people can't escape their past, get stuck with reputations and it wrecks lives very casually.'

William Hurt is notable for its intensity and effective portrayals of complex characters. Born in Washington, D.C., he had already seen much of the world by the time he was grown, as his father worked for the State Department. William Hurt made his feature film debut in Ken Russel's 'Altered States' in 1980, where he played a troubled scientist and for which he received a Golden Globe nomination.

But it was not until he appeared opposite Kathleen Turner in 'Body Heat' in 1981, that he became a star and sex symbol playing a lawyer who succombs to the temptation. Four years later, he won Best Actor Oscar and British Academy Award (BAFTA) as well as a similar honor at Cannes for his sensitive portrayal of a gay prisoner in 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' in 1985. He was again nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his two subsequent films 'Children of a Lesser God' in 1986 and 'Broadcast News' in 1987.. He remained an active stage actor throughout the 1980s...

After playing a diversity of character roles in the following decade, William Hurt earned his fourth Academy Award nomination for his supporting performance in David Cronenberg's crime thriller 'A History of violence' in 2005. Other notable films have included 'A.I Artificial Intelligence (2005), 'The Village' (2004), 'Syriana' (2005), 'The Good Shepherd' (2006), 'Mr Brooks' (2007), 'Into the wild' (2007)...
