Pete Postlethwaite's last film appearance in 'Killing Bono'

The British actor,Pete Postlethwaite, considered by many "the best actor in the world" died from cancer  last January 2nd. His last movie was "Killing Bono" where he plays Karl, McCormick's camp landlord, a role written  for him especially.

Killing Bono is set in Ireland and stars Ben Barnes as Telegraph music critic Neil McCormick, a young man struggling to become a rock star in 1970s Dublin.

The film, which will be released in cinemas in April next year, is based on McCormick’s memoir I Was Bono's Doppleganger. It follows Neil and Ivan, two brothers attempting to become global stars as old school friends U2 become the biggest rock band in the world.
In this scene,Postlethwait´s  last in the film - and his acting career - his words of advice have particular poignancy because Postlethwaite already knew he had cancer.

"A word for the wise from an old man before you go. Remember only this: the measure of a man is what's left when fame falls away."
