R.I.P. Pete Postlethwaite

I noted with sadness that Pete Postlethwaite has died after a long bout of cancer.  Many people probably know him best from the very popular "The Lost World: Jurassic Park".  I first noticed his exceptional work in the '88 film, "To Kill a Priest."  He was taken from us too soon.

Damn fine actor and a loss to the trade. I noticed he was looking quite frail in "The Town" and now I know why. He always seemed so comfortable and natural in any role he had. Nothing forced or contrived. Kind of like Michael Caine, a natural.

I'll always remember him for his role as Kobayashi in the "Usual Suspects".

Will always remember his roles on the movies, specially at "The clash of titans"

Sad news.
