Pete Postlethwaite means many different things to different people (including Steven Spielberg who described him as ‘the best actor in the world’). There are many who associate him with the mysterious Kobayashi in The Usual Suspects. Others remember him mostly for his blistering portrayal of Giuseppe Conlon in In The Name of the Father. And there are those for whom Danny in Brassed Off remains the ultimate Postlethwaite moment. Even his brief appearance in Inception managed to gain great reviews amongst the non-stop special effects and intricate plot. After passing away at the age of 64 after a long illness, the legacy of Postlethwaite amongst generations of cinema and theatre fans remained assured.
