I really hope this is not true, I know he was struggling in addiction.

Such a great actor

[Glenn.]

Oh no :sad:

[King Gizzard]

They are the only ones reporting it so far. So might not be true

[Z]

:o

[King Gizzard]

Oh some more are reporting it now

[Black Dagger]

Oh wow. Awful, such a fine actor :sad:

[Roy Mars III]

honestly one of the greatest actors of his generation. He was great even in crappy movies

[Marsh.]

:eek:

[Tom4784]

Oh no, let's hope it's a hoax. He's a brilliant actor.

[Kate!]

Is it a hoax though?

[Ammi]

..oh no..jeez I hope it's not true...

[Ammi]

..there are quite a few sites reporting it, it must be true...I can't believe it...

[GiRTh]

Only 46

[Black Dagger]

BBC & Sky News reporting it now as well :(

[arista]

I really hope this is not true, I know he was struggling in addiction.

Such a great actor


sadly it is true
on all news

[King Gizzard]

Yeah...never realised he was that young, always had him down as approaching his 60's or something

[arista]

Is it a hoax though?

sadly not

[Benjamin]

Who is this guy?

[Livia]

That's a shame. He was brilliant in Capote.

[Roy Mars III]

He OD'd on heroin, apparently

[arista]

Who is this guy?USA Actor

[Samm]

I have just googled him he's that guy of Hunger games.

Awwww R.I.P :(

[Benjamin]

USA Actor

Oh, what was he in?

[Marc]

Nooo!! :(

[Ammi]

..that's so sad, I think I'm more shocked than I've been with any other celebrity death..he's one of my acting idols...

[arista]

Oh, what was he in?


lots of films

[Roy Mars III]

I have just googled him he's that guy of Hunger games.

Awwww R.I.P :(

the fact that his last movie was that Mockinjay **** makes it even more sad.

the guy was in 20+ amazing movies

[Marsh.]

Yeah, I think him being 46 is an even bigger shock. I always imagined him being a lot older.

[Marc]

..that's so sad, I think I'm more shocked than I've been with any other celebrity death..he's one of my acting idols...

I wouldn't say he was my idol but I agree with you on the shock factor; I'm totally gobsmacked :(

[King Gizzard]

Been in loads of things, the last film I watched that he was in (well, lent his voice to) was Mary & Max, great film

[Benjamin]

lots of films

Thank you for being so informative, lol.

[Vicky.]

So young :(

Its awful that one of the first things I thought when I clicked on who he was (not good with actors names) was how are they going to do his part in mockingjay now..as he has quite a large part in that one

RIP

Hunger Games


he was in a lot better movies than that

[InOne]

Very sad. R.I.P

Liked him in Magnolia a lot.

[Marc]

he was in a lot better movies than that

yes I know Roy, I was just trying to appeal to those on here who don't know of his great movies and may recognise him from more modern stuff.

[Z]

Could still be a hoax... hope he's not dead :(

[Marc]

It's all over SkyNews :(

[Ramsay]

I was watching Red Dragon last night and he was in it :(
RIP

[Tom4784]

I don't think this is the right thread to argue over the merits of The Hunger Games no?

[Marsh.]

[Black Dagger]

I don't think this is the right thread to argue over the merits of The Hunger Games no?

Definitely.

Don't like how the thread quickly turned into "who the **** is he" "how dare you associate him with that rubbish!!!"

Just really gutting news, such a talent and totally shocking!

[Roy Mars III]

My apologies, you are, of course, correct.

[BBfanUSA]

Oh, what was he in?

Capote, Catching Fire (Hunger Games Movie), Twister,

[Shaun]

oh god :( that's awful

i loved loads of his films... fuuck. this is just horrible.

[arista]

A drug overdose is believed to be the cause of death

People and Stars die of Drug OD's every day

[Glenn.]

This is tragic

[AnnieK]

Aw no...great actor RIP

[Marc]

I find it somewhat eerie how people update Wikipedia so fast

[AnnieK]

I find it somewhat eerie how people update Wikipedia so fast

I just thought the same thing...I googled him asthe news was breaking andit was already done

[Saph]

What's he been in?

[Shaun]

Loved the Big Lebowski, The Master (he was stunning in that), the Talented Mr. Ripley, Synecdoche New York, Doubt, The Boat that Rocked, and I'm sure there're many more I haven't yet seen I'll grow to love.

He's probably most widely known for the Hunger Games, Mission Impossible 3 and Capote

[MeMyselfAndI]

So sad :(

I thought he was great in the hunger games

[MeMyselfAndI]

So sad :(

I thought he was great in the hunger games

[the truth]

gutted to hear this tragic news

a truly brilliant actor

I am not one of these people who think actors are over rated luvvies....I love movies, I love proper serious actors like hoffman just like the brandos, newmans, lancasters, pacinos, bogarts, cagneys, vivien leighs, fondas, bronsons, bergmans, deniros, lemons, etc in their prime... think great actors are important and enrich our lives....he did that....
I liked every performance I saw him give.

my favourite was scent of a woman , the big lebowski , the master, talented mr ripley, capote, boat that rocked,charlie wilsons war, patch adams boogie nights, twister and magnolia...he was also brilliant in flawless with deniro..not seen hunger games yet

a very intelligent powerful yet subtle actor, you could always see his brain at work.....Ill be sure to trawl through his vast body of work as a tribute to a brilliant talent

rip mr seymour hoffman

[Kate!]

He was in Mission Impossible III as well.

R.I.P. :(

[King Gizzard]

I need to watch the Master

..yeah, I agree..a great actor gives you more than just a movie because you often believe in the character that they're playing as well...that's the magic of movies...just so terribly sad, he was always one of my favourite ..I don't think I've ever seen him in a movie when his presence hasn't 'lifted' it...

[Saph]

Who was he in THG?

[Shaun]

Plutarch Heavensbee - the gamesmaker who works with Gale/Haymitch etc to start the revolution

[King Gizzard]

Not sure he finished filming either, it says it's still filming on IMDB anyway (MJ2)

[Vanessa]

This is so sad. One of my favourite:bawling: actors ever. :sad:

[Shaun]

Not sure he finished filming either, it says it's still filming on IMDB anyway (MJ2)

I think he dies early on, or isn't very involved in the book anyway

[Vanessa]

First movie i ever seen of him was "Happiness". Loved him in it. :love:

[arista]

They have removed his body and the heroin


on all news

[GypsyGoth]

Aww, I really liked him :sad:

[smeagol]

yikes he was getting better and better as well i thought acting wise
are none of us safe everybody is dying lately
shame,

says drug overdose surely not

['I was Philip Seymour Hoffman's gay lover
and I saw him freebasing cocaine the night

[Shaun]

Downloaded Capote, Ides of March and Moneyball today... I'm sure there're more films of his to get into too.

[King Gizzard]

Still can't believe how young he was and that he had 3 relatively young kids

Probably the facial hair

[Z]

What a sad waste of life. He had kids, was respected in his field, I mean I don't know his life or why he was on drugs, maybe he was depressed, maybe he just liked the escapism of it, but it's like when Amy Winehouse died... it's not that I don't have sympathy I just can't really feel sad about these things when that person was pushing themselves to that point, it wasn't a tragic accident... when you think of heroin addiction you do think of ravaged people who can't string a sentence together but Corey Monteith's death and now Philip Seymour Hoffman's death just go to show that you can't always tell by looking at a person that they have a drug problem that's spiralled out of control... :/

[Shaun]

Generally speaking drug addictions aren't a "why am I doing this?" kind of thing, but a "I have to do this" one...
