Pete Postlethwaite has died

He was in The Usual Suspects but I especially enjoyed his work in Brassed Off and In the Name of the Father.

I first saw him in a British movie called Sharpe's Rifles. He was always good at playing bad guys, including a very recent role as a gangster in The Town.

this was a real bummer, what a talent. I have seen him in other things, but he was great in The Town.

A great actor, under-rated in my opinion. RIP Pete.

Steven Spielberg called him the greatest actor of all time. Saw him in The Town and Inception, both great movies IMO

He had such a great face. Not particularly handsome, but interesting.

How did he die? Was it a T-Rex?

Seriously though, he was definitely very skilled, even in any of the small roles he had he was great. Didn't think he was that old, I'm guessing it was an illness of some kind.

R.I.P.
