R.I.P. Pete Postlethwaite :(

I have always enjoyed him as an actor. One of those very British actors that managed to do some good Hollywood work too.

R.I.P. a brilliant actor

[TheDA]

Described by Hollywood director Steven Spielberg as "the best actor in the world".

That's a nice tag to go around with.

Mr Postlethwaite joked: "I'm sure what Spielberg actually said was, 'the thing about Pete is that he thinks he's the best actor in the world'."

He's been in a lot more than people will remember I think!

Yup and a good example of how he still did quirky British stuff mixed in with big budget Hollywood stuff.

R.I.P. Pete Postlethwaite.

The newspaper article says he "passed away peacefully." That sounds like a good way to pass away. It is also good to pass away without a lot of pain, such as in your sleep. The newspaper article says he was adored by many.

Are they holding Ben Afleck for questioning? I saw him murder the Florist.

They could Affleck for various crimes against cinema...

damn, this is really sad news, I remember him from so many great films, "In The Name Of The Father", "Alien 3", he had a small role in "Inception" (2010)

RIP Pete, you'll be missed.
