While by no means a household name, Mr. Postlethwaite was a great actor and I'll always remember him as The Old Man from James and the Giant Peach. Also, Steven Spielberg named him as his favorite actor he's ever worked with (in Jurassic Park 2).

Oh no. I was already having a terrible day, but this just made it even worse.

This is very sad indeed Pete was an absolutely fantastic actor! And from interviews seemed like one heck of a nice man, and very thoughtful! Definitely one of those actors who everyone has seen in some films, and always memorable, despite not being a household name...a big loss...
