Bob Hoskins

Happy Birthday to

Bob Hoskins

68 today

Born during the Blitz Bob's entire career is based on his extraordinary barrel boy physique and accent, perfectly encasulating the feel of working class London. Recently shone in Made in Dagenham but I'd like to refer American readers to The Street where Hoskins played pub Landlord Paddy Gargan in the third series. Probably the best British TV drama during it's three year run the episode focussed on Hoskins, riffing as it did on High Noon, was superb and you should look it up.
