Oscar nod
His Oscar nomination was for his portrayal of Guissepe Conlon in In the Name of the Father, possibly his most famous role, but the movie isn't mentioned in the article. 98.245.165.1 (talk) 22:47, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Pete's interest in Australian aboriginal affairs
The wikipedia article does not mention Pete's interest in Australian aboriginal affairs, nor the film he made in 2007 in support of Aboriginal rights ('Liyarn Ngarn'). He was a man of great principles and his loss will grieve many. Meglee (talk) 22:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
