Starring Bob Hoskins

A unique and blazing talent, Bob Hoskins was one of the most versatile and consistently riveting actors Britain ever produced. “Five-foot-six cubic” in his own words, Hoskins combined a brawny physicality with a vast emotional range, leading to a series of indelible performances: as a beleaguered gangland boss with a volcanic temper in John Mackenzie’s The Long Good Friday ; a naive, lovelorn ex-con in Neil Jordan’s Mona Lisa ; an avuncular but mysterious stranger in Atom Egoyan’s Felicia’s Journey ; and as the leader of a band of travelers in his own directorial debut, the fascinating, unfairly overlooked period piece The Raggedy Rawney .
