10 More Great Actors With Terrible Last Movie Roles

10. Bob Hoskins - Snow White And The Huntsman

Englishman Bob Hoskins made his first waves in entertainment by starring in a slew of BBC television dramas and eventually British-made films. Gangster flicks such as 1980’s Long Good Friday and 1986’s Mona Lisa saw Hoskins grab several BAFTA awards, described by critics and contemporaries alike as “a natural”.

When he made the jump to Hollywood, Hoskins had a supremely strange career and hats off to him for always taking risks. After all, Who Framed Roger Rabbit must’ve been an extremely odd script to read but he made the right choice to dive into it, crafting perhaps one of his most iconic roles. Then again, he also starred in Super Mario Bros so… you win some, you lose some.

In 2012, Hoskins retired from acting due to an onset of Parkinsons and the celebrated Brit would eventually pass away in 2014. This marked his role in Snow White and The Huntsmen as his final on-screen appearance.

As part of the film’s take on the seven dwarves, alongside other great British actors, Hoskins is a true highlight in a film that is essentially the Twilight version of the Snow White tale: overblown, overdramatic and tired. Hoskins’ performance, often lost in the shuffle, has a real dramatic gravitas that this run of the mill dark fantasy scarcely deserves.
