Supermassive says goodbye to an icon of its games. Tony Pankhurst passes away at 67

Tony Pankhurst, an actor who was a key figure in Supermassive Games titles, has passed away. He appeared in films and commercials, but gamers undoubtedly know him best from The Dark Pictures series.

The actor appeared in more than a dozen films (such as “The Theory of Everything”, “Mr. Holmes”, “Legend”), starred in television commercials, and became an icon of Supermassive Games. The character of the Curator was brought to life with Tony Pankhurst, although he was voiced by another actor (Pip Torrens). The creators of the horror series bid him farewell in a dedicated post, thanking him for his contribution to their games.

“We are all saddened to hear of Tony Pankhurst’s passing. He was the face of the Curator, and we loved working with him.”

The Curator is a key figure in The Dark Pictures series. He introduces the story, hosts several interludes, and reveals additional information about events and characters. Tony Pankhurst also appeared in a special live-action trailer as part of the marketing campaign for the third installment in the series, House of Ashes.
