Bob Hoskins RIP

Up until today I thought of him as a promising youngster and kept wondering when he was going to get his big break. He was a leading man with the face and build of a character actor and Hollywood mostly wasted him.  The work he'll be remembered for came early: Pennies From Heaven, The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa.
