Wonderful talent, who could be as hilarious as he could terrifying. Mona Lisa is a classic.
RIP
Hoskins was a very talented character actor.
As a child of the 80's, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? holds a special place in my heart.
Rest in peace Eddie.
Strange thing is, I never knew he was British. You learn something new everyday.

Watch
The Long Good Friday. There are scenes in which Hoskins' accent is so thick you can barely understand him. Brilliant film and performance.

After reading up on him, I want to watch that film and Mona Lisa.

Oh, I remember being amazed when I heard him speaking in his native tongue after seeing him in several movies. The guy did a great job of getting into 'murican mode for movies.
RIP. Great character actor.
I still remember him as Krushchev in Enemy at the Gates; simply terrifying.

He was great at playing bad. RIP

I think he was already in failing health. He had retired from acting a few years back because of Parkinsons.

Okay...that makes much more sense to me! My Grams had Parkinson's...nasty disease!
What a fantastic actor. He was one I always enjoyed watching regardless of the movie because he was an island of talent onto himself.
