Actor By Accident
Obituaries are there for Bob Hoskins, the great actor of many beloved films. But there is a detail in his life that makes us wonder about the unpredictability of circumstances.
As a child he was dyslexic. In his youth he was porter, circus worker, even deckhand in the Norwegian merchant navy. He became an actor later, and it all started the day that he was waiting for a friend in a bar. It was the bar of an amateur theatre in North London, and there, by chance, he was handed a script and asked to say a few lines.
From them an entire new life started for him.
Life has a lot to offer, but if you don't walk into a bar because you have an appointment with a friend you may miss your appointment with fate.
