The 69-year-old actor in "Hook" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," has announced his retirement from the profession because of a Parkinson's disease diagnosis, according to news reports.
TMZ reported that Hoskins was diagnosed with the nervous system disorder last year in the fall of 2012.
Parkinson's disease affects up to 1 million people in the United States, with 60,000 being diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Worldwide, the condition affects anywhere from 7 million to 10 million people.
