Beast Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just absolutely horrible. He had a history of drug addiction so not terribly surprising, but still absolutely tragic and a HUGE loss to acting. Really really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sounds like a heroin overdose to be specific. Really shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I had no idea he had drug problems. This is goddamn awful. His performance in Charlie Wilson's War is one of my favorite comedic performances ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just absolutely horrible. He had a history of drug addiction so not terribly surprising, but still absolutely tragic and a HUGE loss to acting. Really really sucks. This. Hard to talk. Kinda saw that guy as my cinematic avatar. Was a LOT like me in so many ways. Really wanted him to play basically-me in a movie I wrote one day. Damn. Fuck.

Very sad, RIP. I don't think those were rumors. He had checked into rehab not too long ago. Yep, I'm just reading about that now. Seems like he kicked the heroin habit years ago, but recently went back to it. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I thought he was great in Ides of March. I thought he was great in everything after about 1997 when his talents started getting noticed. I rarely chime in on RIP threads, because what can you really add, but this really fucking sucks. He's one of a handful of actors that you know no matter how good or bad the movie is, at least his performance is going to be great. Surprised he was only 46, he seemed a lot older in his demeanor.

Ramsey Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 A terrible tragedy. Left behind two young daughters too. I LOVED him in Capote. He had an amazing versatility. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Terrible terrible terrible terrible news. He wasn't just some celebrity, he was an artist, and one that I respected very much. This is for you Big Time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Owning Mahowny was a really great movie of his, too. Hell, it's hard to name a bad Philip Seymour Hoffman movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincey Greene Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 He was really great. It's a big loss. On a related note, good fucking luck to whoever has to recast Mockingjay. Big shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I let out an audible "woah!" when I saw the title of this thread. Genuinely shocked. Had no idea he had drug issues either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
