I will always have him in my mind as Sam Vimes when I read Discworld. He improved any movie he was in by his mere presence. He was a, if not THE consummate character actor.
He was the only saving grace in SO many movies… Jurassic Park 2 comes to mind, as insipid as that movie was, I will watch it for him staring down a T-Rex with a dart gun. 😉

I highly recommend Anchoress, my favorite Postlethwaite film, to those who haven’t seen it.

Aw. One less familiar face. Farewell old friend. One of the many you don’t know you have had until they’re gone.
