Pete Postlethwaite

Following a recent topic on who plays who, I thought it might be a good idea to re-investigate the business of Pete Postlethwaite appearing in A Merry Heatwave.

He's not in it.

You're right, he's not in it.

I can only imagine his scene hit the cutting room floor.

How on earth could you cut out a scene with such a legendary actor!!!???

Did I bang my head and imagine the last few days? Or, am I having déjà vu?
I'm sure we talked about this last week ...

You could say I too am Lost for Words about this.

He was just a "legend in the making" at that time. I don't think he would have been very well known in 1978.

I'm not saying anything.

I'm not saying anything.

I'm surprised you've not mentioned him before in your posts

In fairness there is a part of Pete POSTlethwaite in every post on this forum.

Pete Postlethwaite, a chameleon's art,
A master of disguise, a soulful heart.
From gritty streets to regal halls,
He breathed life into every role, stood tall.

With eyes that held a universe of depth,
He painted worlds with every whispered breath.
A villain's sneer, a hero's plea,
His range was vast, a symphony.

From "In the Name of the Father" to "The Usual Suspects,"
He left his mark on countless aspects.
A supporting role, a leading light,
His talent shone, a guiding light.

Though gone too soon, his legacy endures,
In every film, a memory that endures.
A master of his craft, a gentle soul,
Pete Postlethwaite, forever whole.
