Pete Postelthwaite

In a career that spans more than 35 years, British actor PETE POSTLETHWAITE (Albion Munson) has established himself as a highly distinguished actor with over 60 film and television roles to his credit.  A drama teacher initially, he decided to follow his acting instincts full-time and gradually built up an impressive array of classical stage credits via repertory, including training at the Bristol Old Vic Drama School and stints with Liverpool Everyman, Manchester Royal Exchange and Royal Shakespeare Company.  By the 80’s he was ready to branch out into film and TV, giving a startling performance as a wife abuser in the British film Distant Voices, Still Lives.  By 1993 he had crossed over into Hollywood parts and earned his first Oscar nomination for his superb role as Daniel Day-Lewis’s father in In the Name of the Father.  Other quality roles came his way with The Usual Suspects, Brassed Off, and Steven Spielberg’s historical drama Amistad.  He also starred in Spielberg’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park II.  Most recently he has appeared in the horror film Dark Water with Jennifer Connelly, and The Constant Gardener with Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz.
