Pete Postlethwaite, famously dubbed the "best actor in the world" by Steven Spielberg, has died after a lengthy battle with cancer. The respected British star was 64. He starred in movies such as 'Jurassic Park: The Lost World', the more recent adaption of 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Inception', and 'The Usual Suspects'.

It's a harsh blow to all who knew him and knew of him. May he rest in peace.
