Pete was in the same year as me at West Park Grammar School, St.Helens. We did Robert Bolt's A Man For All Seasons as a school drama production. I played the young King Henry V111. on stage for about fifteen minutes. Pete was The Common Man. His performance was outstanding. We later both taught drama and English in Manchester, He at Loretto Convent while I was at Xaverian College.. We worked together on the Passion presentation in St Ann's Square. Manchester. I was honoured to know him as a friend and colleague

I loved reading this Geoffrey. On Warrington Walking Day he always came home. My daughter was (is) a brass musician playing for Warrington Youth Band at the time, playing for Pete's home church of St. Oswalds. In St. Oswald's club he walked up to my daughter, told her how much he loved her playing and gave her walking day money. It was a fiver, a lot of money back then. Brilliant.

As a taxi driver in Newcastle in the early eighties i had the one of the most memorable experiences of Pete being carried into my car . I took him to a hotel in Ncl where me and the night porter had to carry him to his room , could not wake him , gave up on the fare and forgot about it until i had the fortune to pick him up once again . I reminded him of the time i took him to the hotel , obviously he could'nt remember , but we had a real laugh over it . Absolute gentleman .

Spielberg is right. Pete Postlethwaite is/was the world's finest actor. I well remember when Martin Chuzzlewit came on tv, I was really curious to see how Pete would play Tigg Montague/Montague Tigg. He was stunningly brilliant and I knew that the man was something extra-special.Later events proved how right I was. Very sadly he is no longer with us but we have a legacy of his films and I am eternally grateful for this. Thank you for sharing your unique talent with us all Pete. God Bless.

While I had seen him for decades as a character actor, his standout performance to me was as Danny in 'Brassed Off', as a brass player myself was entranced with how he as an actor playing a conductor of a BBB, totally got it. Ive played in rock bands, R&B bands, pops bands, and British Brass Bands, aka BBB. He totally nailed the specific vibe. One of my favorite movies ever, and was bawling my eyes out when they played 'Danny Boy' outside his hospital room. Like Bruce Springsteen, may not agree with his politics, but not distract one iota from his talent.

'They thought theatre mattered ..' Of course, it didn't - not even at the forefront of the 1970s cutting-edge versions of the 1950s take on gauche angry young man kitchen-sink dramas. What it did, in Britain at least, was to save an already long-dying art: that of a live performance by actors who lived to act as well as who acted to live; a craft Mr Postlewaite made his own .. with a look, a move, a silence, not hamming-up or playing it for pastiche value, but for - real. And the brilliance shone through. ;o)
