WHAT THE FUCK? NOOOOO
R.I.P.
He was a fantastic actor and might have been the best out there for a while when he was on a roll. I might end up watching some of his movies that I haven't seen yet in tribute.
Investigators found a syringe in his arm and an envelope containing what is believed to be heroin, the official said.

That would be so touching.
Excuse me? Is that an insult?
The movies I haven't seen yet were Capote and The Master. And since they're considered great and I never got the chance to see them I don't see how it's wrong to finally watch them.spoiler (click to show/hide)If that wasn't an insult, sorry for going off like that. I just can't tell anymore on this board.[close]

Don't look at that as an insult, Exodust. That's every character actor's dream, really. Once people start to know you by name alone, and the kinds of roles you play, that is sort of the last call for a character actor's career. You stop getting hired. There's an old story, and I forget the actor's name who told it (haha), but it goes something like this:I'm pretty sure that was Joe Pantoliano who said that, and as he's been mostly MIA for the last ten years, I guess its true.
You start getting known, and every casting director out there says "Get me Paul Giamatti." Then you're all over the place, everyone knows who you are, you're being paid more, and casting directors start saying "Get me someone like Paul Giamatti." Then a few years after that, every once in a while a casting director might say "Get me someone like that guy...what was his name, again? Paul somebody?"
In a 2006 interview with 60 Minutes, Hoffman revealed that he had suffered from drug and alcohol abuse after graduating from college, and went to rehab for drug and alcohol addiction, recovering at age 22. He said he had abused "anything I could get my hands on. I liked it all.":fbm

Hoffman relapsed over 20 years later, checking into a rehabilitation program for about 10 days in May 2013 because of problems with prescription pills and heroin.
My favorite actor in early PTA films... sad news...
Wonder how they'll handle his character in the Hunger Games?

Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the most talented actors of his generation, a leading man without leading-man looks, an actor whose magnetism onscreen sprang from intelligence and fervor rather than appearance. But his self-inflicted death is yet another hallmark of the broken leftist culture that dominates Hollywood, enabling rather than preventing the loss of some of its greatest talents. Libertarianism becomes libertinism without a cultural force pushing back against the penchant for sin; Hollywood has no such cultural force. In fact, the Hollywood demand is for more self-abasement, less spirituality, less principle, less standards.http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-shapiro-actually-blames-philip-seymour-hoffmans-death-on-broken-leftist-culture/
No one knows what sort of demons plagued Seymour Hoffman. But without a sound moral structure around those in Hollywood who have every financial and talent advantage, the path to destruction is far too easy.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) on Tuesday cited the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman while arguing that the federal government shouldn't treat marijuana and harder drugs like heroin equally.
"It is ludicrous, absurd, crazy to have marijuana in the same level as heroin," Cohen said during a House Oversight Committee hearing on marijuana policy. "Ask the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, if you could. Nobody dies from marijuana. People die from heroin."
Hoffman was found dead in his New York City apartment on Sunday with a syringe in his arm. More than 50 bags of heroin were also recovered from the apartment by police.
During the hearing Cohen urged the deputy director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Michael Botticelli, to reconsider classifying marijuana as a Schedule I drug with a high potential for abuse like heroin. He also chastised the federal government for jailing those charged with marijuana possession, which he called a a "waste of resources."
"Every second that we spend in this country trying to enforce marijuana laws is a second that we're not enforcing heroin laws. And heroin and meth are the two drugs that are ravaging our country," Cohen continued. "And every death, including Mr. Hoffman's, is partly the responsibility of the federal government's drug priorities for not putting total emphasis on the drugs that kill, that cause people to be addicted and have to steal to support their habit. Heroin and meth are where all your priorities should be."
