By those of you who don't understand what I mean, Mr. Peter Postlethwaite has passed. He was truly a phenom of an actor, whose career spanned from doing extensive theater work to portraying roles of a lifetime on the big screen, like Kobayashi in The Usual Suspects, David in Alien3, the priest, Father Laurence in Romeo+Juliet, Roland Tembo in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and was recently AMAZING in The Town as Fergie Colm, Fergie the Florist.
A good man altogether, he was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire), Postlethwaite was once called "The best actor of the world" by Steven Spielberg. However, I don't think I will ever forget Father Laurence, the man who was a part of one of the most romantic love stories in the most recent adaptation (recent by about 15 years, I know) of Romeo and Juliet, Baz Lurhmann's Romeo+Juliet.
