Hopkins had continued working well into the 2000s and even threw his hat into the ring of voice acting, but for the most part, stuck to his classic gun-slinging characters. However, his final role came in 2020 when he starred opposite Amy Adams and Glenn Close in ‘Hillbilly Elegy’.
He had a massive line of work under his belt including over 130 acting credits and is regarded as one of the best supporting actors of his time.
