After training as a teacher, Pete Postlethwaite started his acting
career at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre where his colleagues
included Bill Nighy, Jonathan Pryce, Antony Sher and Julie Walters.
After routine early appearances in small parts for television
programmes such as THE PROFESSIONALS, Postlethwaite's first success
came with the acclaimed British film DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES in
1988. He then received an Academy Award nomination for his role in
THE NAME OF THE FATHER in 1993. His performance as the mysterious
lawyer "Kobayashi" in THE USUAL SUSPECTS is well-known, and he
appeared in many successful films including ALIEN 3, BRASSED OFF,
THE SHIPPING NEWS, THE CONSTANT GARDENER, as Friar Lawrence in Baz
Luhrmann's ROMEO + JULIET, and in INCEPTION with Leonardo diCaprio.
Pete Postlethwaite is one of the best-loved and widely admired
performers on stage, TV (SHARPE, THE SINS) and in cinema. In THE
ART OF DISCWORLD, Terry Pratchett said that he had always imagined
Sam Vimes as 'a younger, slightly bulkier version of Pete
Postlethwaite', while Steven Spielberg called him 'the best actor
in the world', about which Postlethwaite said: 'I'm sure what
Spielberg actually said was, "the thing about Pete is that he
thinks he's the best actor in the world."' This is the story of a
diverse and multi-talented actor's eventful life, told in his own
candid and vibrant words.
