Man, this is terrible! We are loosing too many famous old actors. :'(
I'm not just a fan of classic golden age animation, I'm also a fan of video games, anime, and modern animation (both 2D and CGI animation).

I heard about Bob Hoskins' death while watching the news yesterday. Not only he played Eddie Valiant, he also played Mario in the Super Mario Bros. movie.

Today's edition of the radio program "Fresh Air" has audio of an interview with Bob Hoskins from a past edition.

Very sad about Bob. I know that a Roger Rabbit sequel had been talked about for years. I wonder if he was scheduled to be a part of it.
