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

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'." :)

damnit...i just saw him in "The Town"

Brassed Off is one of my favourite films, a great actor RIP.

oh man R.I.P.

Agree, great actor. RIP.

So long, stranger...

64 is too young to go, RIP

He was good in that as well .... tough already very sick.

RIP .

Yes, I liked his acting, he was very good, too bad he died, RIP :(

Amazing Actor RIP

RIP, liked in him in just about every role he played. Impressive list of movies on his resume:

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.

Great actor. RIP

AMAZING AMAZING ACTOR. I will miss him!

I thought he looked a bit haggard in inception. Sorry to hear this.

RIP :(

I would go as far as to say he is in my top 3 favorite actors of all time =)

just saw him in inception, i think. rip

So is this the first celeb of 2011 to pass away?

Not sure, Per Oscarsson, has been in the news but I don't know if that was tail end of last year.

What a great man and actor to have lost! RIP

You did...

ohh R.I.P.

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...

R.I.P. Pete

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.
