Two of his best roles

1 - The incomparable "Pennies From Heaven"

2- "The Long Good Friday" (Spoiler alert this is the final scene, brilliant without saying a word)

In reply to broken spectre:

I hope the BBC dig out Pennies from Heaven.

In reply to winhill:

or on the move... remember him in that

In reply to broken spectre:

Agree with Hat Dude,my favourite Hoskins performance was in Potters 'Pennies from Heaven'. A great programme which needs reshowing.

In reply to broken spectre:

I think his small part in Brazil was genius.

In reply to broken spectre:
"You've had that scab Tuttle here ain't you?"
I thought of the plumber in Brazil too - small part, brilliantly played.

In reply to deepsoup:



Only a bit part, but really Stands out for me

In reply to broken spectre:

IIRC he started his TV career doing literacy ads for the BBC

In reply to broken spectre:

I like the bit in "Shattered" where he falls in the sewer and goes under (I think he's been shot) and is clearly a goner....then turns up a few miles downstream having used a standard Ventolin asthma thingy as a SCUBA tank. It takes a great actor to get through that kind of "reappearance" scene without collapsing into fits of giggles.

In reply to broken spectre:

Crickey.

This is news to me .

Rip Bob.

In reply to broken spectre:

Bob Hoskins is dead???

In reply to broken spectre:

A visceral actor I would say.
