Pete Postlethwaite 1946-2011 R.I.P.

If there is already a thread about this and I missed it, I'm sorry...

Actor Pete Postlethwaite passed away on Jan 2, 2011 from testicular cancer. This is very tragic as he was a very talented actor, also one of my top 5 favorite actors. Most people have seen him, just many don't recognize him by name. To name a few, he was Brother Gilbert in Dragonheart, Kobayashi in The Usual Suspects, Father Brennan in the remake of The Omen, and recently, Spyros in the (terrible) remake of Clash of the Titans, and Maurice Fischer in Inception.

He will be missed!

Yea, I saw this today, and all I could say was KAISER SOZE! He will definitely be missed.

This was really, really weird. I rarely rewatch movies, but for some reason, when I was tinkering on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, I had the urge to watch The Usual Suspects again. I put it in my queue, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. I watched it last night. And then this morning, I saw the news about Pete Postlethwaite in the newspaper. Freaky.

Obadiah Hakeswill in the Sharpe miniseries... he was a right bastard.
