Hikuro Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 and like many great actors, seems he was a drug addict as well. Follows the pattern.
Marzan Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Man, I can't believe it. He was only 46! It's such a shame. Such great performances in films like Magnolia, Capote, Happiness, The Master etc.. Heck he even made a piece of garbage like Along Came Polly watchable thanks to his role in it. R.I.P.
505thAirborne Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Was very shocked when I saw the news a few hours ago, a very talented actor and a shame to see him go. RIP Mr. Hoffman
xrentonx Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Just saw this on the news Such a great actor too!
Flaming Guantlet Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Very saddening as this guy was one of my favorite actors. Quite a shame to lose him to drugs. R.I.P.
Mr March Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Definitely will be missed. Like all troubled souls, I don't condone his exit, but I applaud the stay he had. RIP Philip.
derex3592 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 So sad. Loved him in Boogie Nights and a totally creepy bad guy in MI III. R.I.P.
renegadeleader1 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) With all due respect to the dead how is this considered on topic when the RIP thread for James Avery(Uncle Phil) who also voiced Shredder from TMNT and did voices for Fist Of The North Star was considered "off topic"?

Not trying to put down James Avery or his achievements in any way, and sure PSH didn't do too much SF but PSH was one of THE great actors of his generation and I am sure that most of us here have enjoyed his work in some way. Don't be annoyed renegade, just let people pay their tributes. Tribute threads never last too long here anyway.
frothymug Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 With all due respect to the dead how is this considered on topic when the RIP thread for James Avery(Uncle Phil) who also voiced Shredder from TMNT and did voices for Fist Of The North Star was considered "off topic"? I thought the same thing when that thread got locked. Not trying to put down James Avery or his achievements in any way, and sure PSH didn't do too much SF but PSH was one of THE great actors of his generation and I am sure that most of us here have enjoyed his work in some way. Don't be annoyed renegade, just let people pay their tributes. Tribute threads never last too long here anyway. To be perfectly honest, I've never seen any of Hoffman's movies. NONE OF THEM. When my Facebook started lighting up with people mentioning his death, I thought "Big deal!" Looked up his filmography on IMDB and realized why I don't seem to have any interest. The point is, it's all subjective. James Avery was important to me because I loved to watch TMNT as a kid and loved Fresh Prince. I don't think his thread deserved to get locked after three posts. Regardless, sorry to hear the news. Always sad when they die so young.
