People and Stars die of Drug OD's every day

This is tragic

Aw no...great actor RIP

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

What's he been in?

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

So sad :(

I thought he was great in the hunger games

So sad :(

I thought he was great in the hunger games

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

He was in Mission Impossible III as well.

R.I.P. :(

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...

Who was he in THG?

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

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

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

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

They have removed his body and the heroin


on all news

Aww, I really liked him :sad:

yikes he was getting better and better as well i thought acting wise

['I was Philip Seymour Hoffman's gay lover
and I saw him freebasing cocaine the night
before he died' says the writer who found his body]

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