awww... I loved him in “Hook” too. His comedic timing was great.

In one scene he is talking to captain hook while holding a chicken leg, and right in the middle of the conversation he takes a bite of it- I don’t know why but that always struck me as hilariously funny.

I also think one of the funniest scenes in any movie was in Ghostbusters when the three of them turn and fire at the cleaning lady’s cart... and she pokes her head around and said “what the hell are you doing?”

He was great in “The Favor, the Watch and the Very Big Fish” and “The Long Good Friday”, two very different films.

He played a convincing Churchill on a History Channel movie a while back.

He played a very convincing younger Nikita Krushchev, in that WW2 “Enemy At The Gates”, with Jude Law playing the celebrated Russian sniper opposite Ed Harris.

He shall be missed.

What a shame. He was too young to die.

Parkinson's will be cured someday...too late for Bob.

Big time lefty, but loved him in “Mona Lisa” with Michael Caine. I HATED “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

I first saw him in the UK TV series “Flickers” about the early days of movie making. Great actor, he’ll be missed.

I remember first seeing him in a Masterpiece Theater piece called "Flickers". Frances de la Tour was also in it. It was about the beginning of film production in England and I had found it quite enjoyable at the time. Always liked Bob Hoskins.

The scene in “Heart Condition” where his boss tells him what he can’t say is something else.
