Although most movie fans remember the surly and pudgy actor Bob Hoskins as the hard boiled detective in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, the British actor was actually responsible for bringing a new level of class and artistic commitment to British film making in the 80's and 90's.
Beginning his life in the theater, Hoskins brought great poise and preparation to every role he undertook.
Entering acting at the relatively old age of thirty, Hoskins quickly amassed roles in a number of influential and experimental British films before making the successful crossover into mainstream American films.
