Eddie Valiant: Difference between revisions

'''Edward "Eddie" Valiant''' is a Californian private investigator and is the main protagonist of ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''.

 

He is portrayed by Bob Hoskins.

Eddie is hard-boiled and smart.

Eddie and his brother Teddy were sons of a circus clown (shown by the pictures on their desk in the film), who joined the police force and eventually started their own private investigation service, ''Valiant and Valiant'', in [[1934]], working largely on Toon cases, such as the kidnapping of [[Donald Duck]]'s [[Huey, Dewey and Louie|nephews]] in [[1937]] or clearing [[Goofy]] of accusations of espionage in [[1940]], both seen as newspaper clippings in Valiant's office. However, when Teddy was killed by the then unknown Toon form of [[Judge Doom]] in [[1942]], Eddie turned to the bottle, and Valiant disappeared from the public eye. This is also the explanation of why Eddie shows dislike towards Toons.
