Ah no. That is sad news. He was my kind of actor. Understated and rarely made a duff movie. RIP.

Nodin

Actually looking like he is dead now, so ignore the above.

His Wiki page is showing him dead. But only the WSJ reporting it....

Aw no. A gifted actor with much more to give.

Sky reporting it now, quoting NY post and WSJ.

donvito99

Can't see it reported anywhere else. By god, I hope this is a hoax.

super_furry

Christ he was only 46. Thought he was close to 60.

ringadingding

He was an interesting actor, I enjoyed his work, understated.

No gushing RIP's from me, but I liked him

El Horseboxo

Talented dude. Hope it ain't true. Got a few kids too.

Nodin

So the hoax was the hoax....that's a new one.

Manach

May he RIP.

Arbiter of Good Taste

How awful. Apparently there were hoax reports about his death a few days ago that were debunked only yesterday.

Weird.

Lollipops23

So sad. What a waste of an amazing talent. He had a young family too.

He was known to have drug problems and was off the wagon last year.


RIP

Arbiter of Good Taste

It is weird. I wonder if there's something more going on

Frosty McSnowballs

RIP Crocodile Tears!

He was one of my favourites

RobbingBandit

Loved him in Scent of a Woman, sad if true he is a great actor.

Soft Falling Rain

Film world has lost a modern great, loved him in The Master and Doubt to name a few.

already on WIki .

King George VI

RIP. He was one of my favourite actors. I loved him in Magnolia. Genuine shame

something very natural about him on screen, and someone who keeps putting out good performances, sad loss for his family and the film industry

bnt

Could someone please fix the typo in the thread title? Getting someone's name right is about the most basic mark of respect there is ...

edit: that was quick.

He was a great actor without getting too serious or po-faced about it. I'll remember his dramatic turn in Synecdoche, New York, but I'll also remember him rocking out to Deep Purple while chasing tornadoes in Twister.

PS: TMZ and BBC are already speculating about a Heroin OD as the cause.

Fuk it that's genuinely saddening for me. Brilliant actor - and gone so early in life. What a waste... :-/

Great actor. He never irritated or annoyed me like a lot of other famous people. RIP.

Imdb have added a death date on his bio. ****ing sad.

Jesus, I'm not carving his name on the grave stone! I looked over it, and noticed I spelled Philip wrong (I had 2 l's) never noticed Seymour was wrong!

He was found with a needle still in his arm according to some news sites. Dosent make a difference. He was a great actor.

There seems to be a hoax about every celebrity dying almost daily so it stands to reason by law of averages some of them will die in the same week. Happened with Paul Walker too.

I really liked his part in Almost Famous, small part but a good one.

Agree completely - one of the most underhyped actors in Hollywood. Genuinelay saddened at his passing.

Clandestine

Plz no

Legs.Eleven

He was one of those actors that was a pleasure a to watch (along with Meryl Streep, Judie Dench and Cate Blanchett). Not a very famous film but Love Liza was one of the best films I've ever seen.

Zen65

That's awful news. Such a tragic waste of talent if it's true.

PSH was not the stereotypical male acting star who could sell posters of himself. He was born with average physical appearance, but a really magnificent acting talent. He made it look effortless. I thought he was excellent in 'Magnolia', 'MI3', and 'Red Dragon', among others.

Dozen Wicked Words

Very sad, great actor RIP

That's it. He got where he did through sheer talent. That's so rare nowadays, particularly in Hollywood. This is a serious loss to film. Not many like him.

stpaddy99

gutted to hear this tragic news
a truly brilliant actor and 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....I liked every performance I saw him give.
my favourite was scent of a woman , the big lebowski , the master, hunger games, 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
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
