It was just announced that William Hurt will be portraying Richard Feynman in a BBC2 drama about the tragic 1986 Challenger space shuttle disaster. Richard Feynman investigated the cause behind the tragedy. He was simutaneously battling cancer at the time.

This looks like  a project that would appeal very much to Mr. Hurt. Fans of his work will recall that he narrated a biography of Albert Einstein called "A. Eisntein: How I See the World".  Both Einstein and Feynman were truly blessed by God to see and understand things about the world and universe that most of us, myself included, aren't likely to.

Filming, supposedly, is set to begin in October and the finished project will air in 2013.

What I'm worried about is when is Mr. Hurt going to get a chance to catch his breath? The man is going to be in "Winter's Tale" which is set to begin filming in October also. . I know that his work means so much to him, and likely if he were to stop it it would cause more damage to him than over working but still I worry about him.

If you ever read this, which now I hope you do for the sole reason that it will mean that you have enough free time to do something as silly as to read my words, please take care of yourself. I'm sure all of this work will do something marvelous for your mind but it is still trapped in the form of a body that is very particular with what it will and will not allow you to do. Believe me, I've found that out the hard way just recently. Please take care.
