RIP
My favorite film of his - Brassed Off.
To: Ready4Freddy
He played the White Hunter in Jurassic Park 2....His defending of a womans honor in an outdoor african bar was priceless.

Great actor but was a global warming nut and was against the Iraq war.
Typical Holly-weird!

He was brilliantly sinister in the Sharpe series.

W@hat was so great about Postlewaite was that in the Sharpe series, you loathed him, but in the Lost World, he was downright charismatic. What a great actor.

Just watched him in The Town last night. He was good as a bad guy, and was good as a good guy too. RIP Pete.

He played the attorney Kobayashi in “The Usual Suspects”. Did a great job as the common thread pulling the entire movie together.

Woa! Thanks for the link....but now I need a shower after visiting that Commie site! And, the photo of Pete was hard to recognize. His real features are best when he is shaven.

ditto, I noticed he looked a little gaunt.
To: Ready4Freddy
“Pete Postlethwaite died in a in Shropshire, England, hospital Sunday after a lengthy fight with cancer. The actor was 64.
An Oscar nominee for his role as the father of Daniel Day-Lewis’s character in the 1993 In the Name of the Father, the distinctive-looking Postlethwaite also played the menacing owner of a flower shop in last year’s The Town, directed by and starring Ben Affleck. In Inception, he was the rich, dying patriarch (his son was played by Cillian Murphy). “
Could he be a victim of government healthcare?
