An outstanding actor to be fair who had a huge array of talents,his best performance was clearly In the name of the father but turns in The lost world,Alien 3 and Romeo and Juliet were all top notch! RIP Pete.

Surprised he was only 64. Looked an awful lot older than that in The Town but I guess he may have been ill then.

4

Same here. It seems like he’s been playing 60 year old characters for the past 20 years or so.

Ill be adjudicating on this thread as is usually the case with Celebrity Deaths here on tfk.com,the usual rules of no cancer and nobody being allowed use a candidate already on someone elses list will apply.Its one point for an over 50s death and two points for an under 50s death.

Ill be retaining four of my list of last Year,i need one sub after one of my team snuffed it in 2010.

He’s big in France now I believe. I think he’s even acting in some film. I reckon you’ll be disappointed on that one.

He’s turned into a right fat fuck since he went off the gear. Let this be a lesson to you Padjo.

Maybe not in the same level of form as he was a few years ago but class is permanent.
