Pete Postlethwaite

Peter William Postlethwaite trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and spent a decade with the Royal Shakespeare Company alongside Daniel Day-Lewis and Bill Nighy before achieving cinema prominence in Terence Davies' 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' (1988).

In 1993, Postlethwaite gave a heartbreaking, Oscar-nominated performance as Giuseppe Conlon in Jim Sheridan's 'In the Name of the Father'. He brought indelible presence to 'The Usual Suspects' (as Kobayashi), 'Brassed Off', 'Romeo + Juliet', 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park', and 'Inception'.
