I just saw that - I liked him...

What an amazing actor.....he was the only thing that made Cotton Club worth watching. We talk "talent" in Hollywood today far too loosely. Mr. Hoskins is one of those few who truly demonstrated it with each performance.

Best wishes and farewell to someone who made the world a better place by being a part of it.

Great actor. RIP :(

Bummer. RIP. Roger Rabbit. Loved that.

What a fucking assclown you are. You copy and pasted that from the comments on CNN :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That's bad new.R.I.P Bob Hoskins

Too young to go. RIP.

Fabulous actor, RIP Bob.

Loved that he could play the good guy and the villian

I worked as a walk on extra in the Cotton Club and sat with Mr Hoskins
during breaks and watched as he drew sketches of horses and small talk
to pass the time. He had the ability to make you feel important to the
film whether you were a star or an extra. Unfortunately, I wound up on
the cutting room floor. Another actor in this production who made you
feel important was Fred Gwynne. Looking back at the cast of characters
in Cotton Club, it's amazing as to the top names, actors and dancers.
Thanks guys for giving me these great memories.

I met him in my local pub in Sausalito, near San Francisco, in 1987. He told me he was working on a movie, which I guess was Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I only approached him because he and I have pretty much the same accent, and he was very friendly and gracious.

The Long Good Friday was one of the best films ever made. A British classic.

RIP

He was great actor

Sad Sad day. I loved who framed RR

RIP Mario Mario! :(
