You know, you could always do something radical like open one of the threads about him, and find out, rather than starting a separate thread just to notify us of the holes in your cultural experience.

Dragonheart, where he played funny Brother Gilbert of Glockenspur, and then in The Shipping News as Tert Card, Kevin Spacey's nemesis.
I'm sorry Pete Posthlewaite is gone. His characters were always memorable, whether they were good guys or bad guys.

21. he gets big ups from me for Age Of Stupid |

All I knew of him before that was that I thought he was cute. I'm sorta sorry for just learning about him for one movie, hardly 2 years ago.
