RIP, Peter. I didn't know he was in Corrie, but I've always enjoyed his characterizations, and loved him in "In The Name Of The Father".
This sucks. Sooooooooo many good roles.
Rest easy Mr. Kobayashi.
What a great loss! Loved him in Brassed off and Age of Stupid. Does anyone have of photo of him as Detective Seargant Cross? It's hard to believe he's gone - too soon.
Slightly annoyed that the Times obituary never mentioned his recurring role in Sharpe with Sean Bean. He was pure evil in that ro;le.
