...pretty wonderful!

Clive Owen, who plays Robert Parks in Gosford Park, is not related to the fine English character actor Pete Postlethwaite (Usual Suspects, In the Name Of The Father, Brassed Off, Last of the Mohicans, Sharpe TV series.)

If you liked Owen in Gosford Park, RUN, do not walk, to your nearest video store for a little gem from 1997 or 1998 called Croupier. It's a terrific film and CO is terrific in it. If you watch PBS, you may also have seen Clive in the Second Sight mystery series playing psychic detective Ross Tanner. He was also in The Bourne Identity and the film version of the play Bent. He's considered a real up-and-comer among youngish British thesps. Done lots of TV and film in UK.

BTW, Clive is 6" (at least) taller than Pete.

I enjoyed Gosford Park, Altman is back on form.
