Damn, I haven't seen him in anything for a while but he was always good in pretty much anything. This sucks.

Pretty sure he was effectively retired for quite some time. Still, this is very sad news indeed. Rest in Peace.

Time to go rewatch WFRR.

FTFY.


Damn shame though. Hoskins was great.

Such a shame. The Long Good Friday is one of the greatest gangster films ever. RIP.

RIP.
I always liked that actor.

Around 2011 he had Parkinson's disease.
probably was the cause why he got Pneumonia.

While I only ever saw a few movies he starred in I always thought he did a great job. RIP Bob.

I've been wanting to re-watch 'Enemy at the Gate', he might have a small role in it, but theirs some extra motivation.

The guy is always fun to see on screen.
