Pete Postlethwaite, the British character actor who appeared in three films in 2010 alone, has died at the age of 64, following a long fight against cancer.
I read this news on one of my Cinema sites yesterday and was a little stunned.
Not only was Pete relatively young, but he seemed to show up in film after film.
I first noticed him as a character named Kobayashi in one of my all-time favorite movies, "The Usual Suspects."
Since then he's had many memorable roles, and I always enjoyed seeing him appear in a film. From Alien3 to Lost World to Inception, Pete always turned in a good performance. One of his sweetest movie roles was in "Brassed Off" which was set in his native England.
Mr. Postlethwaite will be missed.
