Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead

[JoeZhang]

Philip Seymour Hoffman has been found dead in his apartment. A real shame, he was one of my favourite actors and had a great range. I particularly liked him in Doubt.

Shame, great actor.

 

[sidious618]

Oh, fuck no no no. He's one of my absolute favorite actors. Fuck.

 

[JoeZhang]

Shame, great actor.

Yeah but he leaves behind a really good body of work - we will still see him for a couple more years on the screen as he had a few things that were in post production.

 

[Count Zero]

Oh no.

I think I liked him best in Almost Famous but he was very good in all the roles I've seen him play. He wasn't that old, was he?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ He was 47

There was a hoax about him being dead on Friday, but it appears this is true.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

According to the NY Post, it was due to a drug overdose.

 

[IndyJones]

Oh, fuck no no no. He's one of my absolute favorite actors. Fuck.

Pretty much this.

I loved him as an actor, and he seemed quite personable in the interviews I'd seen.

His poor kids...

Agreed. He was a GREAT, not a good, actor.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Terrible news. He's been struggling with heroin addiction for some time and went through rehab last year. May he rest in peace.

 

[bigdaddy]

Holy shit, this is incredibly shocking.

 

[cooleddie74]

Shit. This is so sad on every level. Such a colossal acting talent. The guy could turn junk into art simply with a few minutes of his screen presence.

 

[Amaris]

Dammit. He was easily one of the best actors of this generation, and just a pretty cool guy all around.

Rest in peace, Phillip.

Saw this on twitter and entertained the hope that it might be another hoax. But it was soon confirmed. A terrible loss to the world of acting and the cinema - he was a colossal talent. RIP.

 

[Agent Richard07]

Oh man! I'm shocked!

I didn't know he was struggling with addiction.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Terrible News and way to premature if indeed true, though it looks like it is.

However, taking a look at this puts matters back into perspective.

Cue: Casting Speculation for Hunger Games Sequel.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

^ Maybe but I see that differently, just think among all those numbers we all knew who Phillip Seymour Hoffman was, that's pretty amazing.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Yeah...I just like to not lose the big picture, as well.
