A Valiant Heart has been lost

funkmasterB3 · 05-01-2014

In the last few days, the world has lost an iconic actor. Bob Hoskins.

Most of us will remember him as Eddie Valiant from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and his indomitable performance as Mr. Smee from "Hook". He was in class all his own when we needed a tough guy with a heart and mind, and then turn around and dazzle us with a mirthful and lovable pirate.

These two films alone hold a special place in my heart through the years, despite having numerous roles in his career that surpass what he created in these films from a theatrical view. However, I would like to propose a tip of the fedora and a moment of silence for a treasured Actor.

Glad I got to see him in those movies. He was very good and seemed to appreciate the adulation he got for these silly roles.

"The Long Good Friday" - a brit gangster classic. A chilling role!
