Hurst, whose parents and two brothers live in Houston, got his acting start in Austin. It was shot all around Texas, with Houston landing a few scenes, and is scheduled for release in December. The words “deliciously quirky” come up a lot.īefore Diva, Hurst had a part in the Terrence Malick film, The Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. From the positive reviews I read about the book, this is a film to anticipate. ![]() Hurst says The Loop will probably hit the festival circuit by the end of the year.
