Rest In Peace: Bob Hoskins

I was sad to hear that Bob Hoskins passed away recently from pneumonia. Even if you are unfamiliar with the British character actor by name, you've probably seen him in something. He was the star of films such as The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Super Mario Bros. He also has major supporting roles in Unleashed, Paris je t'aime, Hook, Brazil, Mrs Anderson Presents, Neverland, A Christmas Carol, Snow White and the Huntsman, and Nixon. He also was nominated for several prestigious awards, such as Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Emmys (for his role on BBC's The Street). He won the often sought-after Prix d'interprétation masculine at the Cannes Film Festival for Mona Lisa. He was beloved and will be sorely missed.
