[quote] Bob Hoskins, the pugnacious British actor known for playing gangsters, tough guys and working-class gentlemen in such films as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "The Long Good Friday" and "Mermaids," has died, his publicist Clair Dobbs said Wednesday.
He was 71.
His passing comes nearly two years after he retired from acting following a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.[/quote]
It is a sad day indeed. The other night I just happened to sit down and watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
He played Smee in Hook. :C
