Bob Hoskins passed away from pneumonia yesterday. He was 71, and he’d been retired for the last couple of years after a Parkinson’s diagnosis, but he leaves behind a pretty impressive body of work, to say the least. For most people, I imagine, his best-known role would be his virtuoso work playing Eddie Valiant alongside an animated menagerie

He was fantastic as Smee in Hook.

you set the tone with the thread title, no?

my wife told me about his death this morning and I said " who the hell is that?"

I will watch Silence of the Lambs and The Elephant Man in his honor.

Simultaneously.

It's how he would want it.
