It's good to remember

Just days after mentioning Bob Hoskins consummate display as Manuel Noriega - a reference that proves his centrality to much of popular culture in a way similar to Kevin Spacey (even with the phone(ish) ads) - he has now passed on, aged just 71, from pneumonia.  Unlike James Gandolfini or Philip Seymour Hoffman who had still so much to give, Hoskins has left us the gift of smorgasbord of his talent and though he was winding down and officially retired, star turns could still have been donated to us.
Admittedly, most of his filmography I have yet to see, but iconic roles in The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa (rated as the only actor who could have carried that picture to the extent he did), Who Framed Roger Rabbit? as well as less honourable choices as Smee in the Spielberg flop Hook (amid a whole cast of Hollywood heavyweights) and Mario in the awful Super Mario Bros (opposite the late Dennis Hopper as the reptile archvillain).  There were small roles that are notable in Brazil and as J. Edgar Hoover in Nixon, a far less kind portrayal than Leonardo di Caprio's flawed hero.  Apparently, he was Odin in Son of the Mask for which he was nominated for a Golden Raspberry as Worst Supporting Actor - I have seen the end of that 2005 film but the candidacy was probably deserving as for me the role was utterly unmemorable.  A few blips are permitted any actor though, especially as if anything it keeps them in the public eye (and thus in the minds of movie producers).
Bob, you will be missed.
