Philip Seymour Hoffman, Actor, Dies at 46

Imo a really top quality actor. There aren't many actors who I can think of who are truly at a similar level. His performances were almost always superbly executed. He didn't over-act like many A-Listers are prone to do; he was good in very subtle ways at his art.

I'm very saddened.

I feel a little sullied that the reporter published this before the family knew. I'd rather wait to hear.

Yeah both the reporter and the police officer that gave out the information are real assholes. Incredibly unprofessional.

Wa, this comes totally unexpected I have to say. He was a good actor, not one of my favourite but one that I could always recognize and had roles I usually liked. Can't say much more unfortunately. Condolences to family and friends.

We've had some terrible news. Mr. Lebowski is in seclusion in the West Wing.
