Philip Seymour Hoffman played Capote, but he's been turning in brilliant performances for years. He was the spoiled kid in Scent of a Woman and the yuppie in the Talented Mr. Ripley and the male nurse in Magnolia.

He also played Lester Bangs in "Almost Famous". Lester Bangs, aside from being a writer, was as different from Truman Capote as a character could be. Hoffman has incredible range.

Don't forget Brandt in "The Big Lebowski"!

And he was excellent in "Capote", which is not about the life and times of that author, but specifically about the Smith/Hickock murder case and the writing of "In Cold Blood". It was terrific and he should get the Oscar.
