Pete Postlethwaite

biography: Peter William "Pete" Postlethwaite, OBE (February 7, 1946 – January 2, 2011) was an English stage, film and television actor. After minor television appearances including in The Professionals, Postlethwaite's first success came with the film Distant Voices, Still Lives in 1988.

In television, Postlethwaite's most notable performance was as the villain Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill in the Sharpe television series and television movies opposite actor Sean Bean's character of Richard Sharpe. Postlethwaite was born in Warrington, England in 1946. He trained as a teacher and taught drama before training as an actor. Steven Spielberg called Postlethwaite "the best actor in the world" after working with him on The Lost World: Jurassic Park. He received an Academy Award nomination for his role in In the Name of the Father in 1993, and was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2004 New Year's Honours List.

Sharpe

overview:
Sharpe is a British series of television dramas starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, a fictional British soldier in the Napoleonic Wars. Sharpe is the hero of a number of novels by Bernard Cornwell; most, though not all, of the episodes are based on the books. Produced by Celtic Films and Picture Palace Films for the ITV network, the series was shot mainly in Turkey and the Crimea, although some filming was also done in England, Spain and Portugal.

The series originally ran from 1993 to 1997. In 2004, as part of ITV's new set of drama, ITV announced that it intended to produce new episodes of Sharpe, in co-production with BBC America, loosely based on his time in India, with Sean Bean continuing his role as Sharpe. Sharpe's Challenge is a two-part adventure; part one premiered on ITV on 23 April 2006, with part two being shown the following night. With more gore than earlier episodes, the show was broadcast by BBC America in September 2006.

Going Straight

overview:
Going Straight is a BBC sitcom which was a direct spin-off from Porridge, starring Ronnie Barker as Norman Stanley Fletcher, newly released from the fictional Slade Prison where the earlier series had been set.

It sees Fletcher trying to become an honest member of society, having vowed to stay away from crime on his release. The title refers to his attempt, 'straight' being a slang term meaning being honest, in contrast to 'bent', i.e., dishonest.

Also re-appearing was Richard Beckinsale as Lennie Godber, who was Fletcher's naïve young cellmate and was now in a relationship with his daughter Ingrid. Her brother Raymond was played by a teenage Nicholas Lyndhurst.

Only one series, of six episodes, was made in 1978. It attracted an audience of over 15 million viewers and won a BAFTA award in March 1979, but hopes of a further series had already been dashed by Beckinsale's premature death earlier in the same month.

biography:
Peter William „Pete“ Postlethwaite, OBE (* 7. Februar 1946 in Warrington, Cheshire[1]; † 2. Januar 2011 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire) war ein britischer Schauspieler.

Postlethwaite war zunächst Lehrer an einer Klosterschule. Später sammelte er jahrzehntelange Bühnenerfahrung: Er trat mit den Theaterensembles Manchester Royal Exchange, Liverpool Everyman und später mit der Royal Shakespeare Company auf. Seit Mitte der 1970er Jahre übernahm er zunächst meist kleinere Film- und Fernsehrollen, der erste größere Erfolg stellte sich 1988 mit Entfernte Stimmen – Stilleben ein. In diesem autobiografischen, preisgekrönten Drama des Regisseurs Terence Davies verkörperte Postlethwaite den prügelnden Vater einer englischen Arbeiterfamilie. Weithin bekannt wurde er im Jahr 1993 durch seinen Auftritt in dem Film Im Namen des Vaters.

Es folgten größere und kleinere Nebenrollen in Hollywood-Produktionen wie Dragonheart, Vergessene Welt: Jurassic Park, Die üblichen Verdächtigen, Æon Flux und der Shakespeare-Adaption Romeo + Julia, in der er die Rolle des Paters Lorenzo (Friar Laurence) übernahm, sowie in dem 2010 erschienenen Film Inception. Steven Spielberg, der mit Postlethwaite bei zwei seiner Filme zusammenarbeitete, bezeichnete ihn als „wahrscheinlich besten Schauspieler der Welt“.
