This is really sad :( I loved that guy! And as much as I can hate the Mario movie now, I loved it when I was little!

 

But of course, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is how I truly fell in love with him. That film man, my mom actually hates it now because I used to watch it so much when I was little.

Very sad to hear this, Roger Rabbit was a film I watched over and over again as a kid. The character he played in that movie, Eddie Valiant was like a childhood hero to me at the time. When I heard the news about his death, i remembered this music from the movie from one of the few sad scenes:

He was was an amazing actor, its worth checking out some of his older films too see some of his performances over the years.

 

RIP

R.I.P Bob Hoskins, NOBODY will ever play Mr. Smee the way you did! FACT! :(

 

Hook is one of my favourite movies and Neverland was an awesome show. Did anybody remember that Hoskins played Smee in both Hook and Neverland? I remember him in other movies but Hook is more close to me because I love Peter Pan and I remember thinking that he was perfect as Smee. Really sad news! I'mma have to try and buy Hook on blu-ray and watch it over the weekend. Failing I get the blu-ray, I'll watch my DVD!

Like Helmsley I'm not sure I could even count the number of times I've seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a kid(and a few times as an adult, too :p). Hoskins was an absolutely quality british actor, and seeing him in interviews when I was a bit older was even more of a delight - seemed like a cracking guy all round. I always wished he'd been around in the acting game a bit longer for me to appreciate, but I hadn't really realised quite how old he was neither.

Shocked really, doesn't seem like any age at all.

 

I think he was a massively underappreciated British actor, who was always great in everything he was in - whatever the overall quality of the rest of the movie.
