The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Real shame to hear this, he was a great actor, and worth a mention here regardless of his turn in alien 3.

A most underated actor that I realy liked to see on screen. He brought a presence to his on screen time that is hard to articulate. I loved his performancs in Brassed Off and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

It was always a pleasant surpise to see him pop up on screen in a film, even if for a small role.

RIP Pete.

I remembered seeing him in James and the Giant Peach when I was a kid, then seeing him in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. His last performance I had seen him in was the TV film Animal Farm.

Gilbert the Scribe from Dragonheart
The Hunter from Jurassic Park 2: Lost World
and of course
Mr Kobyashi from The Usual Suspects

He's one of those actors he can go from playing terrorists, prisoners & dino hunters and still be brilliant in all of the part he played.

RIP dude. :(

It's funny, he came up as the main topic in a family discussion on New Year's day. He will always be the deliciously evil (When) Obadiah (ets his hackles up, he'll be havin' it won't he mother?) Hakeswill and (My name is) Kobayashi (I work for Keyser Soze) - to us. RIP Pete.

A stunningly gifted and diverse actor with many contrasting roles - Among so many amazing portrayals, I will remember him best for the despicable Hakeswell and the starkly different Brother Gilbert!!

So sorry to hear this...

My condolences to his family & loved ones. He was one of my favorites of the convicts in ALIEN3. Remembering his line of "Here Kitty...Kitty"

Wow, that's so sad! I just saw him in "Inception" last week. Another great one lost.
