Pete Postlethwaite R.I.P.

The sadness when someone famous passes is one thing, but when it's a character actor aka "that guy", it seems more sad to me - like no one noticed. Well, I noticed. Pete got his huge U.S. notices in "In the Name of the Father" getting an Oscar nom. But I will always remember him in "Brassed Off" - a classic! I'll be sad to see the guy go. Here's his NY Times obit.
