He brought a weight to any role given, and will be sadly missed:cry:

RIP

That's too bad. Five years younger than my dad when he died of the same disease.

Apparantly Terry Pratchett based Commander Samual Vimes on Pete. I would have liked to have seen him perform in Guards Guards :D

Well, he was born in Warrington in '46 which back then was a part of Lancashire, but is now a part of Cheshire. Accent wise, he was pretty good at getting most Midlands and Central regions on par.

Garion, I can see Pete Postlethwaite as Sam Vimes, he would have made a damn good one too. :yeah:
