So we have to play his one Top 20 hit. Along with Sir Laurence Olivier, he provides trademark vocals on Paul Hardcastle’s long-forgotten follow-up to 19. I worked with him a couple of times and he was exactly the same off-screen as on it. So he was either genuinely like that or else he was acting 24 hours a day. He was especially brilliant with Helen Mirren in The Long Good Friday but I do wonder whether a producer today would be allowed to cast two relatively unknown actors in such major roles. Probably not. Because what are most movies made for today? Just for money.
RIP Bob Hoskins.
