Celebrity Biographies - The Amazing Life of Bob Hoskins and Philip Seymour Hoffman - Famous StarsEver wondered how Bob Hoskins and Philip Seymour Hoffman rose to stardom? Although most movie fans remember the surly and pudgy actor Bob Hoskins as the hardboiled detective in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, the British actor was actually responsible for bringing a new level of class and artistic commitment to British filmmaking in the 80’s and 90’s. Beginning his life in the theater, Hoskins brought great poise and preparation to every role he undertook. The man who became known for his chameleon-like disappearance into a host of nuanced and creative characters was actually an extremely genial, kind, and gentle man in reality. Though his life was cut tragically short, actor Philip Seymour Hoffman left his indelible mark on the celluloid of film history forever. Starting off in a string of independent films as a struggling actor, Hoffman would later become recognized as one of the great pioneers of his craft – a man whose eccentric roles remain some of the most beloved in film.
