"Philip Seymour Hoffman"

I looked him up and still wonder; Who?

Best Actor Oscar winner Philp Seymour Hoffman.

[Jeff Chandler]

He played Lester Bangs in Almost Famous.

He was in “Moneyball.” I think he played the role of former major league manager Art Howe. Good actor. Too bad he got involved with H.

He was an interesting actor as his career progressed.

Sophomoric meteorologist in “Twister”, gay gopher in “Boogie Nights”, backstabbing criminal in..., uh, with Stanley Tucci and Robin Tunney, “Charlie Wilson’s War, “Hunger Games”, a “Mission Impossible” film, and being gay, he was a natural for “Capote”.

I saw one movie that featured Philip Seymour Hoffman and that was "Big Lebowski". A movie well worth seeing by the way. Preferably on a Friday or Saturday night a couple beers deep. It's about a scruffy, lazy work-averse guy named Jeff Lebowski who gets mistaken for a workaholic millionaire with the same name. Something about a stolen carpet that "really tied the room together."

But that's the only time I ever saw this guy Philip Seymour Hoffman in a movie. He turned in a pretty good performance being the flunky of the "other" Jeff Lebowski. I guess in real life, he got caught up in a downward spiral of drug abuse and died in his mid 40s.

Did a great job of the bad guy in “Mission Impossible III”. Just a gifted, all around actor.
