R.I.P Bob Hoskins

BRITISH actor Bob Hoskins, known for his roles in films including Who Framed Roger Rabbit, has died at the age of 71 following a bout of pneumonia, his agent says.
The short, stocky Londoner, who rose to fame in British gangster movies in the 1980s and went on to have a long career as a Hollywood character actor, died in hospital on Tuesday night.
Hoskins, who was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe for playing a petty criminal in Mona Lisa in 1986, retired in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Hollywood stars, including Samuel L. Jackson and James Woods, led tributes from the world of film, while his family spoke of their grief.
“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Bob “ said a statement from his wife Linda and the couple’s two children Rosa and Jack, and Hoskins’s two children from his first marriage, Alex and Sarah.
“Bob died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family, following a bout of pneumonia,” said the statement issued by acting agent Clair Dobbs.
“We ask that you respect our privacy during this time and thank you for your messages of love and support.”

I'll always remember Bob for his Cockney gangster role in The Long Good Friday. Sensational actor.
