ScotsAlan Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just seen the news that Bob Hoskins has passed on. For some reason I feel really sad about this. What a great actor, and all round decent guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Sorry to hear that; he was a proper actor, could play a range of characters, and was in some of the best British films of his era. Three immediately come to mind: He played a wonderful part in Dennis Potter's first masterwork, Pennies From Heaven; was tough yet vulnerable in the brilliant Mona Lisa; but most memorable of all was his wordless final scene in The Long Good Friday. By all accounts he was a nice guy too, an ordinary bloke who just got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
