[Kaleva]

1. He's one of those actors....

whose name you may never remember but you see him or her in many movies.

[Aristus]

14. Yeah, you know, one of the ones who makes you say: "Hey! It's that guy!"

B-)

[soleiri]

2. He played Kobayashi

In The Usual Suspects. He was a really great actor.

[jobycom]

4. Or did he?

Dum duh DUMMM!!!

I mean, part of the point was that at least the name was fake. :)

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. He'll always be Kobayashi to me.

When he passed, I told my sister, "Kobayashi died!"

[madinmaryland]

3. He is Gorn's brother. nt

11. Your loss

You know, you could always do something radical like open one of the threads about him, and find out, rather than starting a separate thread just to notify us of the holes in your cultural experience.

[Parche]

18. or maybe......

i could fly to the dark side of the moon

[CBGLuthier]

12. He was a man who starred in movies made mostly for adults

Perhaps you have not yet achieved an age where you can appreciate such?

[LeftinOH]

15. +1

[Orrex]

13. He was awesome in Alien3

[frogmarch]

16. I first saw him in

Dragonheart, where he played funny Brother Gilbert of Glockenspur, and then in The Shipping News as Tert Card, Kevin Spacey's nemesis.

I'm sorry Pete Posthlewaite is gone. His characters were always memorable, whether they were good guys or bad guys.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. And he was in In the Name of the Father as

the father in the true story of an Irish father and son who were falsely convicted of terrorism.

[tigereye]

17. good for you for asking- check out some of his films!

[stuntcat]

21. he gets big ups from me for Age Of Stupid

All I knew of him before that was that I thought he was cute. I'm sorta sorry for just learning about him for one movie, hardly 2 years ago.

[wickerwoman]

22. Daniel Day Lewis's dad in In the Name of the Father.

And the bad guy in the Sharpe mini-series.

Watch them now if you have not.

[kiva]

24. Yes, definitely watch Sharpe.

Postlehwaite was a most excellent Hakeswill. RIP, Peter.

23. Brilliant Actor. Always Added To A Movie, Rather Than Detracting From It. (n/t)
