R.I.P. Bob Hoskins (1942-2014)

A few years ago, a male friend of mine (who is also in entertainment) and I were shooting the breeze and talking about whatever popped into our heads. Apropos of nothing, I had a thought about A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I said, “You know whose Bottom I’d like to see? Bob Hoskins’.” He gave me a strange look and said, “Why do you want to see Bob Hoskins’ bottom?”
