Phillip Seymour Hoffman Found Dead

[Rural]

I even liked him back in the day as a kid in Scent of a Woman


and enjoyed him in Moneyball

I was going to reference that if no one else did.

The talent was shining through even in a movie where Pacino ate every curtain in the place.

RDJ isn't in the same ballpark as Seymour Hoffman.

Eh, Chaplin was a pretty amazing performance, but I think we'll be at an impasse here.

Drugs are bad, bad, bad. Such a great talent.

This is probably my favorite scene of his. There are better one liners but "Excuse me. What the ****?" cracks me up.

Honestly never heard of him.

Honestly never heard of him.

He's been in so many movies over the last decade and a half, how is this even possible?

Before I mock I need to be sure: Is it possible he's deaf and blind?

I could kind of understand it if all he made was the oscar bait films that many moviegoers never see. But with films like Twister, Mission Impossible, Hunger Games, etc he's been in just about every type of movie that a studio can make and whether the movie is terrible or great, his performance was always great and usually memorable.

That's the worst part of him passing. There aren't a lot of actors that no matter what the role or the movie, you can count on them to deliver a great performance and we just lost one of the few.

Couldn't agree more. My wife automatically put movies on her list if he was in it, and I don't remember ever being disappointed. She was very upset to hear the news.

This may be one of my favorite movie scenes of any movie... Rain dance!

The first movie I really remember him being in was Happiness. He's kind of disgusting in it though. Awesome actor. RIP.

Did the term "*******" come from Along Came Polly? That was the first time I had ever heard it.

Between this and the presentation scene ("Uuummmmmm!! I just need a little water"), he steals the show. Movie is underrated from a comedy perspective.

I did not know him by his name, but definitely by his picture. He was a great actor, but apparently had real problems.
I always thought in many of his roles that he was on drugs while filming. Now I would guess he probably was.

The police are saying there were 50 bags of heroin in his apartment.

Such a waste. RIP :sad:

I also read he had a day planned with his 3 young kids. Nothing like a few drugs to get you through a day with your kids

I admittedly know zero about heroin other than what I have seen on Breaking Bad and Trainspotting - but heroin is a huge downer, isn't it? Maybe he ODed the night before to get to sleep?

 

[buf87]

I know nothing about drugs. Just another talent that wasted his life on drugs. So many and we will glorify him with a huge tribute, just like all the others singers and actor that killed themselves with drugs.

Breaking Bad is the extent of my knowledge too, so all I know is you're supposed to prop yourself up so you don't roll onto your back, and if that happens to you, you better hope that Walt isn't the guy that stops by and finds you that way.
