British actor Bob Hoskins, best known for his role as the head detective in 1988’s live-action and animated hybrid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, has died at the age of 71, his publicist revealed in a statement.

His death on April 29, after suffering a bout of pneumonia, comes two years after he retired from acting following a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
