Reply to comment by nowhereman136 in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto

He starred in a film called The Long Good Friday that is just amazing. 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The final scene is famous, but the whole movie is good.

The film is used in some introductory script writing courses and it's not hard to see why

He was also in Last Orders, one of the few films ever that can reliably make a grown man cry
