Actor Pete Postlethwaite (1946-2011)

I have to say that I was still holding onto the dream that Pete Postlethwaite would be Sam Vimes someday. (Sam Vimes is my all time favorite fictional character.) Terry Pratchett, creator of Sam Vimes, said that even though the Discworld artist Paul Kidby depicts Vimes like a Clint Eastwood, he always imagined him as a Pete Postlethwaite, which I'm sure is what inspired the illustrator for Pratchett's kids book, Where's My Cow (see below).

Speilberg said he was the best actor in the world. Inception will be much sadder now.
