I was saddened to hear about the recent passing of the Oscar nominated actor, Bob Hoskins. Two years ago, Hoskins had announced his retirement from acting after revealing his Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis. I had plans to write about him for the Underrated Actors Blog because of his popularity in cinema during the 80s and early 90s. Instead of writing about his life and career as I usually do for the blog, I’m going to discuss the way I was raised on his work.
