Bob Hoskins, mostly known for playing gangsters and tough guys in his films. His most famous role has to be Eddie Valiant, a detective in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. But for me, he was Mario!

I was 5 when Super Mario Bros. came out in 1993, and I can still remember the day I saw the film. I was in tears laughing and enjoyed every minute of it. Sure it wasn’t the greatest movie but it sure was amazing to see my video game characters come to life. I remember the prison scene like it yesterday, “Mario Mario, Luigi Mario”.

Thank you for being a part of my childhood Bob Hoskins, R.I.P.

Oz plays Rocket League and is very bad at it, but at least he tries. As long as there are games to talk about, he's in his happy place.
