Tony Pankhurst, The Curator of The Dark Pictures Anthology, Has Passed Away | Push Square
Tony Pankhurst, the UK actor perhaps best known for lending his likeness to The Curator in Supermassive Games' The Dark Pictures Anthology, has passed away.
Spotted by GameSpot, Supermassive posted a short tribute to the actor on X. The actor had a career spanning over 40 years, working as a radio presenter, running his own business, and making numerous appearances on TV and in films like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
However, our audience will probably know Pankhurst best because of his iconic portrayal of The Curator. A recurring, unsettling being who appears in each entry of The Dark Pictures (Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes, The Devil in Me), the Curator is a mesmerising character who links the series together through a recurring series of Crypt Keeper-like interstitials.
Our condolences to the actor's friends, family and fans. Are you a fan of Pankhurst's work? Is there a specific role that comes to mind? Let us know in the comments section below.

Very sad news.
