Very sad to lose such a talented actor.
All the epitaphs are remembering his turn in Roger Rabbit, but I shall always remember him as the Rock and Roll Manager in Pink Floyd's The Wall.

When I think of Bob Hoskins, I will always think of the way he made me laugh in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

One of my favorites....

Why did he not make more movies?!

R.I.P.

He sure had a cheeky sense of humor. From Wikipedia:
"He was slated to be a last-minute replacement in the film The Untouchables if star Robert De Niro had not decided to play Al Capone. When De Niro took the part, director Brian De Palma mailed Hoskins a cheque for £20,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more movies he didn't want him to be in."

He did a really good NYC accent.

Pity he died so young.

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he reminded me of Danny DeVito.
