A very under-rated actor in my humble opinion. Recently saw him in Inception when he appropriately played an old man on his death bed. He was great too in Brassed Off if my memory serves me right.

Fortunately he wasn't in the Age of Ignorant. Give it a miss eh pet? I was merely commenting upon my fond memories of Pete in that particular role.

He was in the Age of Stupid, it was an excellent film, if you missed it then you missed out.

Get over yourself.

Not sure why you seem to be trying to antagonise people, but it's a little early in the year for this.

Oooh er, you chappies have very large egos, why on earth would I want to antagonise you?:confused: 100 lines for Squirty, who has an 'individual' sense of humour which upsets people:


I will not be antagonistic this early in the year
I will not be antagonistic this early in the year
I will not be antagonistic this early in the year
etc
etc

Caught a bit of it a while back, but haven't seen it all the way through.

Basically for tree-huggers............

I'll never forget him in 'The Usual Suspects'.
