I'm genuinely saddened by this. Postlethwaite was a tremendously watchable actor, and only yesterday I saw him in JUMANJI! I didn't know he was in that till I heard him speak.

A real loss to modern film.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't in Jumanji to be honest.

He was one of my favourite actors. Seemed like he was a nice guy too.

Mick Karn of Japan, yesterday evening from cancer!
Heard the back end of a conversation on Radio 2 late last night but could only just now verify it, as nothing on any news channels.

I wasnt aware that Mick Karn was ill so that was a surprise.Very sad but i recall an anecdote about Mick Karn and i forget who i was told it by but someone was in a recording/rehearsal studio [another bass player] and they overheard Mick Karn playing bass in the next room and they thought "Why do i bother ??" obviously discouraged because his bass playing was so good.

Heres a track in rememberance of Mick Karn :

Shame about Gerry Rafferty but i was aware he was an alcoholic and ill but i like City To City and Night Owl and Baker St is one of those tracks that takes me back to a ceertain time and place whenever i hear it.I always really liked the cover art of those albums as well.

Aye, I suspect the Bolt unit is thinking of his Great White Hunter turn in Jurassic Park 2.  Very sorry to hear of his passing, he enlivened anything he appeared in - even Dragonheart!

Sigh- In Jumanji- there is a scene where the Robin Williams character returns to his father factory to be told about his parents' death by a tramp who gives him clothes. The tramp is Pete Postlethwaite. It was his voice that made me look twice.

Wow! A quick look at the IMDB suggests that's uncredited, so good catch.
