The British actor Bob Hoskins has died, not long after he retired from acting suffering from Parkinsons. He was 71
I first saw Bob as an unknown actor in series of short public information films, called On The Move where he played a removal man called Alf, who couldn't read or write. The series was to help other adults in the same situation to learn how to read and write.
Bob's first big break in the UK came with the tv musical Pennies From Heaven with Gemma Graven. However, it's for his movies he's best known like The Long Good Friday with Helen Mirren, Mermaids with Cher, Mona Lisa, Neverland and Made In Dagenhem
