Pete Postlethwaite died

Heard this, but neglected to post it and then remembered last night because he was in The Town, which was apparenlty his last full film. He was filming another, which I will now have to see because it sounds funny: Killing Bono, the story of friends who watch U2 rise to fame. LOL. Anyway, you may not recognize the name, but I am sure most have seen at least one movie that he was in. Some of the more notable ones: The Usual Suspects, Dragonheart, Last of the Mohicans, James and the Giant Peach, and recently: Inception.

Kind of hard not to recognize him:
