Philip Seymour Hoffman Dies at 46

Re: Philip Seymour Hoffman Dies at 46

Dumbledore's actor from the first two died.

Luckily for them, they had a doppleganger still alive in Ian McKellan and didn't miss a beat.

Also, Blzer, Lionsgate said they're not going to recast him as most of his scenes were finished.

I didn't even realize Dumbledore was replaced.

Thanks for the heads up on that, by the way.

I've seen PSH in Twister, Patch Adams, Doubt, Mission: Impossible III, The Master (which I hated), Pirate Radio, Moneyball, and Catching Fire. I never saw Almost Famous or The Ides of March but I know he's in those so I may check them out soon. He always impressed me in the subtleties. Shame he still seemed to have a long career ahead of him.

Wasn't Michael Gambon the replacement?

Anyway, I always tell people Phillip Seymour Hoffman is my favorite actor. I'm flat out devastated by the news. Top ten PSH roles:

10. Hunger Games
9. Along Came Polly
8. Synecdoche, New York
7. Almost Famous
6. Doubt
5. Mary & Max
4. The Master
3. Magnolia
2. Punch Drunk Love
1. Capote

Damn the man was talented. I left quite a few good ones off, too.

Good actor. Apparently he's had a drug problem for a while now.

Yes he was. My mind just went to Gandalf because it just seemed right, LOL.

Wow. Drugs really play no favorites. Rich, poor... Very sad to hear.

Re: Philip Seymour Hoffman Dies at 46

I don't understand it. You have these talented actors who could buy whatever they want. And they choose to buy drugs to destroy their lives. I don't understand it, and I doubt I ever will.

when you can buy anything, you rarely have true friends ... you may have people around you, but you are alone, so they want to forget about their lives

Re: Philip Seymour Hoffman Dies at 46

Sad. Sad. Sad.

I knew he had been clean & sober for 23 years, but fell back into it in 2012. I remember he went to rehab. Too bad it didn't work out. Love his work.

If this is true, the 23 years sober part and falling back into just two years ago, I truly hope whoever pushed him over the edge is alive to realize what he did.

This news is horrible for the world of entertainment. To me, the best supporting actor in Hollywood.

I do the same thing all the time, lol. That's why I knew what you really meant!

Re: Philip Seymour Hoffman Dies at 46

What does a major movie like The Hunger Games do when a key (I am assuming never read the books) member of their film dies? I know they are filming now, but there is still two movies to go. I guess they will recast him. Didnt this happen to a major character in Harry Potter films?

Or Fast and Furious....

Me neither. I'm not shedding a tear, except for his wife and daughters.

Just a horrible loss to the world. It was really weird I was at work watching Moneyball and it was the scene where Pitt is cutting everybody and my wife called and told me he had died. It was kind of freaky.....

I work at my friends comic book store a few days a week. Pretty sweet gig. He just pays me in comics so I can read everything.

Of course I worked roughly 80 hours a week for 20 years to be able to retire and work part time.
