Super Mario Brothers, Roger Rabbit Actor Bob Hoskins Dies at 71

[Callate]

He played an enormous number of parts, but almost always seemed to end up second fiddle- to Denzel Washington, to Judi Dench, to an animated rabbit. But I never got the impression it bothered him, that he demanded the spotlight only for himself. He was there to work, and work he did, solid and professional in every role.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hoskins. Thanks for all your good work.

The Long Good Friday all the way for me, great actor and a real shame to, nowadays 70s isn't even that old.

You will be missed Bob.

R.I.P Bob Hoskins. I really enjoyed your character in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Damn,.. he was a really good actor.. it's sucks that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and then dies of pneumonia..I can't remember a film he was in that he didn't do a good job in.. even Super Mario Brothers.. I actually liked that film and thought he did a great job.. regardless. first we lost Dennis Hopper (aka King Koopa) now we lost Bob Hoskins (aka Mario) it's a sad day for both the mushroom kingdom and the real world....

Wow... He died on the same day as my grandfather...

Now, I feel like re-watching Super Mario Brothers and Brazil in your honor, Bob...

Love Roger Rabbit and Bob, I'll always love you for Mario. Yeah that's right I said it! I like the Mario movie!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my very favorite movies. Roger was the comic relief and as such took quite a bit of the spotlight, but IMHO, I honestly don't think anyone else could have done a better job as Roger's counterpart. Rest in Peace, Bob. You'll be greatly missed, and we'll never forget you.

Strange, I remember him most vividly from Enemy At The Gates and Danny The Dog / Unleashed. He was always a joy to watch. I hope he went out contented and may he rest in peace.
