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!

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.

“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?

According to Wikipedia, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1990 and had one testicle removed. He might have been dealing with it since then. Very sad. RIP Mr. Postlethwaite, you were a great actor.
