    British actor Pete Postlethwaite dies at 64



    Rest In Peace.

    If I may add, he was known in the movie Jurassic Park: The Lost World as Roland Tembo and is the sole ONLY MAN to take down a T-rex in the entire history of Jurassic Park.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Why point out your own ignorance ? Clearly you don't watch any decent films. Perhaps you have to be English ?

    I was gonna say "Get a DVD player!" but nevermind.

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

    Bugger. He rocked. The guy was so good in so many movies over such a long period it's extremely difficult to pin down when his best period was.

    For those that have no idea - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000592/
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    He was in Inception, Clash of the Titans, The Usual Suspects, In the Name of the Father, Age of Stupid, a lot of Shakespeare... and a whole heap more. Spielberg called him the best actor in the world, FWTW.

    Seems to be a lot of cancer around at the moment.
    Redefining slow since 2006...
