    R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman

    Philip Seymour Hoffman Dead at Age 46

    Absolutely shocking news, I had to rub my eyes and look again when this came up on my newsfeed. He was an incredible actor, and to die so young is truly a tragedy. Quite aggrieved at this.

    Oh wow....this is the last thing I expected to hear today. Very shocking news.

    RIP.....he was never a big name actor, but he did what he did extraordinarily well. I loved his role as Truman Capote.

    Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman dies

    This is heartbreaking. I loved this actor since the film the 25th Hour, where his small part is the best thing about it. And I'm a MASSIVE fan of Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games movie.

    Absolutely gutted by this news. RIP.

    Yeah I just heard this. That sucks, I wish the media wouldn't circle around people in the entertainment with drug problems like vultures around a corpse. It makes people less likely to seek treatment. Those that were close to him said that's why Michael Jackson fought so hard to keep his drug abuse a secret. I wonder if we didn't make such a big deal out of it, if PSH would have sought treatment. I thought over the last year or so he looked like he might be using. Didn't really expect things to escalate so quickly though. A great actor though. He'll be missed.

    I thoroughly enjoyed his acting. I don't know him any more than the many other people who also died in the past few days, but RIP. :\

    Re: R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman

    When I heard this, I just sat staring at my laptop for about five minutes taking it in. A phenomenal actor who always managed to be one of the very best things about any movie he appeared in. Such a tragedy.

    Wow. My favorite movie where he starred in was "Twister" where he played Dusty. He was one of the funniest characters in that movie.

    This is quite sad... Not only was he a great actor but yet another life wasted to overdose. May he rest in peace.

    I'm still angry and upset by this news. I'm surprised by how upset this is making me.
