With all of this talk recently of faces that "show their age," it is sad to bid farewell to one that never did.
Bob Hoskins was a journeyman actor, as comfortable playing Sancho Panza in "Don Quixote" or Micawber in "David Copperfield" or J. Edgar Hoover in "Nixon" or Iago in "Othello" as he was playing the fool in "Who Killed Roger Rabbit." Even playing the most dastardly of villains, there was something about his smile, when the role allowed one to leak through. He will be missed.
