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

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

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

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.

(maybe/maybe not) all very confusing.

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

:D Priceless :pac:

He was great in MI3.

RIP.

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

Vito Corleone · 02-02-2014 08:04PM

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

RobbingBandit · 02-02-2014 08:04PM

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.

So depressing, gutted.

Weird.

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 · 02-02-2014 08:07PM

Plz no

Legs.Eleven · 02-02-2014 08:07PM

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 · 02-02-2014 08:14PM

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 · 02-02-2014 08:15PM

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 · 02-02-2014 08:18PM

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

ceadaoin. · 02-02-2014 08:20PM

Sad news. He really was one of the best actors out there and, by all accounts, a nice person. RIP

brevity · 02-02-2014 08:21PM

Very sad news...such a great actor...

AnotherGem · 02-02-2014 08:22PM

Absolutely gutted. Has always been one of my favourite actors. RIP

Who? I swear I don't recognise who he is

amorphous · 02-02-2014 08:23PM

RIP. I liked his characters in the Talented Mr. Ripley and the Master.

Kylo Ren · 02-02-2014 08:23PM

What an actor. RIP.

LoonyLovegood · 02-02-2014 08:24PM

RIP. Phenomenal actor. I brought my little brother to The Hunger Games. He was 13, and I expected him to like the killing and Jennifer Lawrence. He came out of it, asked who Hoffman was, and we spent an enjoyable two months watching as many of his films as I could get my hands on.

IvySlayer · 02-02-2014 08:26PM

I was only watching Twister last night (awesome film)

RIP

stimpson · 02-02-2014 08:26PM

I was hoping someone was going to disconfirm the report. Loved him as Brandt in the Big Lebowski. He was brilliant in The Master recently. Awful waste.
