Hopkins, John (died 1570)| English hymn writer. With Thomas Sternhold (1500–1549), he was responsible for producing the metrical version of the Psalms; of the complete edition which appeared in 1562, 60 psalms bore Hopkins's name, and 40 that of Sternhold. Hopkins contributed some commendatory verses to the English Protestant John Foxe's Actes and Monuments (1563; retitled Book of Martyrs), and is often credited with the authorship of the ‘Old Hundredth’. He was rector of Great Waldingfield, Suffolk, 1561–70. |

| I recently watched the big budget movie Beowulf, and sure I recognized Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, and Angelina Jolie, but trust me when I tell you, despite their distinctive voices, the real people are far more effective on-screen than their animated imitations. Everyone else resembles the actors playing them: Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson and especially Angelina Jolie as Grendel's powerfully seductive mother. My kids used to love dinosaurs, but now they're into dragons," Jolie said, as she joined cast members Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Crispin Glover and Alison Lohman. |
