Now theres a list of peer group respect.
He was excellent in Inception. Class act for sure.
RIP

If he wasn't in Rambo 1st Blood or the Posiden Adventure then it does not count, come on, he couldn't even make Aliens 1-2....how bad must you have to be to miss out on a crap movie like that? mind you, not that I have seen any of those movies (by choice)

The actor was also in Alien 3 (1993), the guy who lured the alien and sacrificed himself.

He was amazing, such a shame, but that is the cycle of life.

Dude deserves a knighthood just for this I reckon:

Trivia:
He once let an agent go after the agent suggested Pete change his last name to something more marquee-friendly.
