I was saddened today to hear that the great British actor Bob Hoskins had passed away, following a bout of Pneumonia.  He was 71.  He appeared in some of my favourite movies like the ground-breaking Who Framed Roger Rabbit as well as the Winona Ryder / Cher drama Mermaids.  He was best known for some of his tough gangster roles such as Mona Lisa, but could also put his name to comedy effortlessly and was often a very charming and likable presence.

He will be greatly missed, and my thoughts go out to his friends and family.

I just read the very tragic news that gifted actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was this morning found dead in his hotel room with a hypodermic needle in his arm.  He was one of my absolute favourite actors and I always thought I should seek out more of his movies.  I am both shocked and shaken by the news and really think the world has lost one of the greats.

He was best known for roles in Boogie Nights, The Big Lebowski and The Master and nabbed an Oscar for his portrayal of Capote.  A very sad loss and my thoughts goes out to his friends, family and his many fans.
