Bob Hoskins – 1942-2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

British actor Bob Hoskins, who starred in Robert Zemeckis’ Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/em>, has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hoskins appeared in numerous Hollywood and British film productions, none more so popular than the 1989 live-action\/animated hit about a cartoon rabbit accused of murdering a human; he won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for his role in Mona Lisa<\/em> in 1986 – he was nominated for an Oscar for the same film – and would appear alongside Cher and Winona Ryder in Mermaids<\/em>, Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman in Hook<\/em> (he played Smee), Judi Dench in Mrs Henderson Presents<\/em>, and most recently – in his final film role – as one of the “dwarves” in Snow White & The Huntsman<\/em>.<\/p>\n

His film appearances are too numerous to account for entirely here, but other roles include films such as Super Mario Bros<\/em>, Michae<\/em>l (opposite John Travolta), Nixon<\/em> (as J Edgar Hoover), Enemy At The Gates<\/em> (as Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev), opposite Jet Li in the violent actioner Unleashed<\/em>, and as a member of the Ben Affleck starring Hollywoodland<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mr Hoskins passed away on April 29th from pneumonia. He had also been suffering from Parkinson’s Disease since 2011. He was 71.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
