[Tatsujin]

  he was one of the very best of this actors generation. I'm a bit in a shock

hoped to see many more excellent upcoming movies with him. I also thought he still had his best movie years ahead.

Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday afternoon in his New York City apartment, a law-enforcement official said.

The New York Police Department is investigating, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine exact cause of death. The official said Mr. Hoffman, 46 years old, was found dead at his apartment at 35 Bethune St. in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan.

Saw him for the first time in Boogie Nights.  Sucks when anyone dies.

Yeah, he was really great in Boogie Nights. Left a lot of great performances.

He was a f*cking idiot. But a great actor regardless.

RIP

Well, it sucks, but

he ODed on heroin and had a ton of other drugs on the scene, so, nice job, f*ckhead, is all I have to say.

Yeah, great actor, but evidently life was too for him hard being able to do everything he wanted, being rich, having kids etc. The pressure was too much. I think it was being in these Hunger Games films that finally helped him reach his breaking point. The shame he had to carry of being in an mainstream high dollar Hollywood movie as opposed to next to no pay indie films, it was too much a burden to bear. The odds were never in his favor.

Still, he was the main star in one of the greatest Sega Genesis games ever made.

This. ^  I was sad to hear that he died and before I read anything I knew it was going to be drug related.  Don't really feel sorry for him.  Did he really not have enough in his life he had to use drugs, and f*cking heroine of all things?  I loved him as an actor since Twister.   My favorite is his roll on Pirate Radio.
