R.I.P Bob....

[ianrauk]

Love this..

When a proposed move to replace Robert De Niro as Al Capone in The Untouchables fell through he was given a £20,000 pay-off by director Brian De Palma, prompting Hoskins to ask if he had any more films he did not want him to be in.

We are quite shocked here. Love Bob Hoskins, a very sad loss for the world.
RIP Bob, you were a real star and a nice bloke.

Very sad.

I just loved him in Pennies from Heaven.

He may have been in a few duff films but he never played a duff part in a film.

So that's two Bobs so far this year,Bob Crow being the other one. Who's next?
"When asked which living person he most despised, Hoskins named Tony Blair and claimed that "he's done even more damage than Thatcher".

Litle-un (aged 7) is big into Mario Brothers on the Wii and asked if there had been a film about them.... I replied.... 'Yes there had'.....'Can we buy it dad PLEASE!!!!!!!" my reply 'Definitely not'

You MONSTER!!

Yes I read that a while back when he needed to move from his house in Chigley.

Where did he move, Trumpton?? Camberwick Green??

Seriously though, sorry to hear that and also of his death. He was an actor I never really knew much about, but he certainly was in some quality productions over the years!

Sad indeed. Does anyone remember the BBC adult literacy programme "On the Move"? That was him too.

The Long Good Friday is right up there in my list of favourite films.

So glad you mentioned that, I KNEW it was Bob, but was unable to find anyone else who remembered it. For some reason (though of course literate myself) I absolutely LOVED watching that...

Apparently he did a advert for BT.
When asked why did he take the job, he said "I've got 1/2 million reasons !"

Kind of bit like when Michael Caine was asked about Jaws IV "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house it built, and it is terrific"
