Hoskins is one of my favorite actors. I first heard of him when he earned an Oscar nomination for his role in the 1986 film, Mona Lisa. However, it was his role in 1988's Oscar-winning Who Framed Roger Rabbit that made me a fan of his. I also admired his work in Heart Condition (1990) and Hook (1991), to name a few. I send my condolences to Hoskins' family and friends. Rest in Peace, Mr. Hoskins.
