Sad to hear about the passing of Pete Postlethwaite, didnt even realise he was ill.
British actor Pete Postlethwaite who was most recently seen in Inception and The Town, passed away peacefully in central England. Pete was being treated for cancer and succombed after a lengthy battle. He was 64.
The Oscar-nominated thespian has starred in Alien 3, The Usual Suspects, Amistad, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, as well as countless movies dating back to 1975, was nominated for an Academy Award for The Name of The Father in 1993.
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.
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.
