The actor Bob Hoskins has died aged 71. His agent said that he died on Tuesday, surrounded by his family, suffering from pneumonia. He retired in 2012 following a diagnosis with Parkinson's disease in the autumn of 2011.

One of Britain's best-loved actors, Hoskins was known for his gruff bonhomie, and career that spanned more than 30 years. He first found fame on the small screen in Dennis Potter's Pennies from Heaven, and then in cinemas as a London gangster-turned-businessman in The Long Good Friday (1980).

Super Mario Bros (1993) – which he described in a 2007 Guardian interview as "the worst thing I ever did".

Heh!


Seemed like a descent chap.

R.I.P.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Only thing I remember seeing him in, but he did a pretty good job considering what he had to work with.

RIP, Bob. ::praying::
