In video games, this is no small matter. Even if he is not the protagonist of a great story or a villain we remember with fear, he will always be the face that told us and guided us through the horror. We are talking about Tony Pankhurst, the actor who played the mysterious curator in Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures games, who has died in Kent, England, at the age of 67.
Pankhurst hasn’t had a very recognizable career, although he has appeared as a supporting actor in some of the biggest films of the last decade, such as Rogue One and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. IMDB quoted his death last May, but Supermassive Games has now confirmed his death on social media. It’s unclear if his work continued on the upcoming The Dark Pictures Anthology games, such as the announced Directive 8020, but he will always be remembered as our guide to horror in the series.
Rest in peace.
