RIP Thread

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Philip Seymour Hoffman has been found dead in his apartment. I wish it was a death hoax, but as he recent left rehab for a heroin addiction, it's probably true.

Oof. What a waste of talent. Bummer.

[Gaucho]

Very sad. RIP.

We were just watching Twister this morning and I chuckled at how far he had come since then...weird coincidence.

[legame]

One of his generation's greatest actors. Such a bummer.

[Gaucho]

It's apparently an overdose.

35 years ago (1979), Sex Pistols' bassist Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose in New York

Weird.

[FreeCandy44]

Aww that sucks....

[Dickie Dunn]

Its being reported that he was found with a needle in his arm. Guess that detox didn't work out. Never understood the attraction to even try hard drugs like heroin. Regardless of all that, dude was a hell of an actor and leaves three children behind. RIP.

Edit: Was apparently in the process of filming the final Hunger Games movie (part two of the third book).

I read he was sober for 23 years before he fell off the wagon in 2012. Went back to rehab last year.

Such a shame. Great actor.

I saw that too. It began with a prescription to pain killers, which he ended up getting addicted to and escalated to heroin. He seemed to realize quickly he needed help (I think he said he voluntarily entered rehab within 2 weeks of trying heroin) but it looks like he couldn't beat it.

I really didnt like him as an actor, very few likeable characters. Dusty was awesome though. Fashionably late again i see.

His characters definitely tended to be unlikeable d-bags.

Awesome scene. Great actor. RIP PSH....

[Rylan]

His death bums me out. A fantastic actor, and with his young children he ultimately leaves so much behind. To stay clean for so long, and yet ultimately fall too short is such a sad and humbling story.

PSH at his best:

I'll always remember him as the dirtbag rat in Scent of a Woman.

YOU'RE BUILDING A RAT SHIP HERE!!
