Very sad indeed. I might watch Jurassic Park today in remembrance, obviously not his most outstanding film but I enjoyed it.

Very sad to hear this. RIP Mr. Postlethwaite.

I saw him getting off the same train as me at Birmingham New Street, no one else seemed to notice it was him as he was dressed very casually.

R.I.P Pete. An amazing actor.

He was one of those rare Actors that could make just about anything watchable purely due to him being in it, a great loss.

Just been watching a few of his clips. Without dragging this down into politics - Nick Clegg would do well to watch his speech at the end of Brassed Off.

RIP.

A sad loss. A very engaging and likeable actor. Just seen him in two films in the last week - Inception and Solomon Kane. Amazingly prolific in TV and film - imdb filmography has 145 entries since 1975.

RIP

He was a legend in those fantasy-type movies playing monks and stuff. RIP.
