I had never heard of the guy but his face was familiar. Then I read that he portrayed Truman Capote and I remembered him.
He was pretty good in that movie.
We will never hear the end of this crap. Drugs killed the brilliant,Hollywood genius. Let’s call for more stringent drug laws. God forbid we should lose anyone else from Hollywood. After all actors have such an impact on everyday Americans who of course are of lesser intelligence.
This idiot killed himself pure and simple. Case closed. Nothing to learn here just the loss of one more drug addicted Hollywood type. One less voice trying to run all the rest of us commoners lives.
At least he died doing what he loved the most.....drugs.
I wish people would say this more often.
I’ve had horrendous demons and face them all minus drugs and booze; he had millions to play with and endless opportunities. He had no business skipping therapy or doing some genuinely fulfilling things with his time and resources.
His partner threw him out of the house because of his drug taking and that alone tells me he chose to potentially damage his kids because of his preference for drugs instead of their well being. He was a horrific example to his kids.
He loved drugs more than he did his life, opportunities, and his family.
Of course the cops mobilize and leave no stone unturned for the dealer(s) that sold to him. Think they would’ve done that for anybody else? Nope, he would’ve been just another junkie that shot up one too many.
He gave her THREE KIDS and no ring..?
I don’t get it.
I think it’s a sign of Euro Sophistication, or something, if I don’t blink at this.
BREAK-DOWN IN MARRIAGE KILLS *ANY* CULTURE.
Contributed (narrated a film or something) to
Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Not a member
of People Against Illegal Drugs.
Drug money finances illegal guns for
gangs and those in Afghanistan who
kill our soldiers. He was killed not by a
man with a gun but “shooting (up)”
himself. The ‘victim’ died by his own
actions.
Sympathy for the family, but just another dead junkie worth about two lines in the obituary page.
When I worked alcohol treatment back in the day we said "There is no gene that makes you cash your pay check in a bar instead of the bank next door."
True.
However I would also say that only one person is ultimately responsible for the dealer being a dealer of deadly substances and that is the dealer.
In both cases it is sad.
Hoffman had the talent of a leading man and the face and body of a gay dog catcher. Heroin made him Brad Pitt
Acting is an escape from reality, too.
I’m sick to my near death of hearing about this junkie’s “tragic” death.
He had it all, and threw it away for his nasty habit.
I agree
