If youve never seen a movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman in it, then youve missed out on quite a lot. An actor of enormous depth of nuance and subtlety, which he was known to bring to his roles, has been darkened. Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment at age 46 this past weekend. The news has shocked the entertainment industry as well as fans who have seen his work. Recognized as being one of the best actors of his generation, Hoffman felt comfortable being the star of a film as much as the character actor in it. He gave us some of the more memorable performances youll see in the past 25 years in cinema.

All of his performances are equal. He may have been the greatest actor of our time.
I probably enjoyed him the most as Freddie Miles in Talented Mr. Ripley, though. I always regretted he didn't have a bigger part.

I am amazed no one mentioned Nobody's Fool. He was a complete chameleon! Compare his role in that movie to Capote and you can really see his range!
