R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his New York apartment today. Early reports suggest his death was the result of a drug overdose.

This is sad news for his family, friends and anyone who appreciated his talent as an actor. He was among the best in the business. Some of the roles that jump out include his appearances in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and “Boogie Nights.” Just consider for a moment how he created totally unique characters in those films. Of course he’ll be remembered for his Oscar-winning performance in “Capote.”
