A shame, he was quite a distinctive and well traveled actor.

RIP.

Which part of England is he from (his accent)?

R.I.P

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

Cheers

Now that's one I hadn't heard. But it works.

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.
