Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014)

Yesterday, we lost yet another phenomenal actor when Philip Seymour Hoffman died of a drug overdose in New York City. The winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for his role in 2005's Capote, Philip Seymour Hoffman had been battling heroin addiction when he passed away in his New York apartment on Super Bowl Sunday. It is obviously very unfortunate that an actor who starred in such movies as Scent of a Woman, The Big Lebowski, Patch Adams, Mission: Impossible III, Moneyball, The Master, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and both installments of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay would have an accomplished life end on a tragic note. Despite the nature and cause of his death, Hoffman should be remembered for all of the excellent work that he did in a film and TV career that spanned more than 20 years. Rest In Peace, Mr. Hoffman... He was 46.
