As good as his other roles are, I always think of his role as a storm chaser in "Twister." Very passionate.

I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman was an amazing actor and human being.

It's such a loss, his acting was soooo authentic, on the genius level

I met him and his family 1 month before his death. He was gracious and kind. What a loss to the world!

I cried throughout this whole video. I have gone through this exact thing with my son and heroin addiction. You cannot help them - the only person that can save them is themselves. Hoffman was my favorite actor. This is so very tragic. God bless you, Mimi. I can only imagine your sense of loss.

And God bless you too. Until an addict is brave enough to heal their own pain, that is sadly the legacy they give to others who love them. I wish you and your child all the best in the world, I can't imagine how your heart must shatter every single day, and the strength it takes to pick yourself up each morning and continue to love them despite of it.

I died a little the day I heard the news. I looked forward to his performances more than that of any other actor. Nothing compared to what his family must have experienced.

Genius actor ... he could play ANY role and it was so believable and often intense. Sad loss.

I will never understand why the medical community doesn’t step in with legitimate help for addicts. Not everyone can quit. Dose them! Daily at a pharmacy or doctors office. Our current policies on drug addicts are absolutely worthless.

@jamesdunn9609

@@insatiablecuriosity2555 It's a horrible substitute. It is definitely better than heroin, but it has a longer half-life and is just as hard to stop. Methadone maintenance programs aren't actually treatment for the addict. They are actually designed to protect the community FROM the addict. By switching the addiction from heroin to methadone, the addict can be more functional so those programs do have some positive effects for them, but they remain addicts. What those programs actually do is lower the transmission rates of communicable diseases (leading to lower medical costs and increased community health) and the need to commit crimes to pay for their addiction (leading to lower rates of property crimes, petty theft, shoplifting, etc.). There has to be a better answer than this.

Hoffman was the most fascinating actor ever. Fascinating person ever. So complex and nuanced. I could listen and watch him all day.

I first noticed him enough to look up his name and remember it when he was in Magnolia. The character he created was so rich and deep and relatable, as were all his characters. He was a truly gifted actor. He is missed.

I wouldn't say getting stronger. But it will definitely linger around for the rest of your life.

About 15 years ago, I happened to sit in the next table from Philip at Keen’s Steakhouse in NYC. He was quiet and unassuming. When I looked over at him, he gave me a polite nod. I wanted to talk to him, but I respected his privacy. He seemed like such a down-to-earth and a genuinely nice guy.

His presence on screen was reassuring, you just knew the character was in good hands with PSH. Sorely missed, I mourned his passing, and I thank him for giving us some of the most memorable cinematic experiences. No one will ever beat that Philip swagger in Ripley, that slimy Red Dragon reporter, the acidic, exacting Capote. Hope his wife and children find peace, it's the least they deserve.

The filming of Robin and Phillip at 5:07 Is so powerful.

I still can hardly watch him without crying 😢. Will ALWAYS love and admire him ❤💙♥

Damn, this is a loss I’ve had a hard time accepting. Wonderful man, amazing actor. Gosh, how I wish Mimi had kept him at home. You should never turn an addict loose. Once on their own, they might die. May his soul Rest In Peace. May God bless Mimi for all she’s had to endure.

A huge loss indeed. The rough thing about addiction though is that there’s often no way they’ll get better until they hit rock bottom. It’s taught in alanon that healthy boundaries must be set in order to not enable the addiction and you really can’t blame Mimi for doing so, especially for the safety of her children.

Thank you for this video. I still can't believe he's gone.

Amazing actor!! So sad we lost him. ❤😢

One of the greatest actors of all time

May you rest in peace Mr Hoffman. You are now okay and you don't need to battle anything anymore. I love all you movies.

Wow..being that incredibly self aware..even to the point of turning over his finances. Most addicts seem to lack any sort of ability to make that kind of decision. They both knew it was unavoidable.

Such a rare amazing actor. A true loss of brilliance.

Im now 21 sober and when he died it hit me hard because it kind of deepened my understanding of what I’m against, in a way he helped me, I got closer to the rooms and my sober network, addiction is a thief

I hope he’s acting in heaven. Such a gem of an artist. Saw him on stage once and so glad I got the chance…

I love this man, and not just as an actor but as a fellow addict. I have never seen such acting. My kids and I saw him in "Death of a Salesman" on Off Broadway two years before he died. He also had severe depression, which this video doesn't mention. RIP PSH

I chatted w him once in front of The Public Theater, we were both waiting for rides at night. He seemed sad to me. Unhappy.

I miss watching him so much. He was amazing. ❤️

So tragic, so sad, indeed! Loved him as an actor, a genius and truly gifted! Not easy to see him pictured with another genius and truly gifted Robin Williams who also had inner demons, addictions and committed suicide. May they rest in peace~♥♥ BTW, great commentary, well done!

@Vintage Bleached Blonde There must be a great, primal fear of the nature of Human Pain in our Western societies. So thank you for putting "pain" right out in the open with your comment. As children or young adults, could we be taught more truthfully about the nature of pain, and the many many ways in which it is experienced ? These can be such cataclysmic times in our lives. Why will some people accept, rebuild and heal ... and others will not. (It is now Oct 2022. I hope that you have stepped through the relapse that you wrote of.)

I remember how much he stuck out to me, more than anyone else, in the movie Twister. To me, his small role made a huge impact and I was always excited to see him pop up in movies since then.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman died before his Time, he was a incredible actor, it's such a tragic loss!

It is the most helpless and heartbreaking moment when u truly realize and accept u can't make someone get help. Been there

A sensational actor. He played so many different roles from a baseball manager to a priest. Terrible loss for anyone that love watching movies.

I really loved his acting ability and authentic talent. Amazing talent met tragedy as a young person he would never truly recover from addiction. Mimi poor sweet ladie. What a heart break.

FLAWLESS 💖 📽🎬💖

God rest his soul. What an amazing artist. His son has his gift and I am so glad we get to see his work continue through his son. My feeling is he got too busy and speed kills. Whenever there are demons arising in life ask yourself "how can I slow down around this?"

What a great ACTOR ! RIP. SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY To LOSE YOUR LIFE. MY HUSBAND DAVID DIED FROM LIVER CANCER, 2 MONTHS AND GONE, WE HAD NO SAY IN THAT. Be grateful for the time you are given, dont throw it away. PRAYERS FOR ALL.

Meaningful to hear this... thankyou. Everyone needs to know this about addiction. I love his works.

He was an amazing actor and person. Lost too soon, but hey least he had a beautiful life before he passed.

You will always be missed. There was something so special in you. Love to Mimi and children. 🌈

Sad. Saw him in True West on Broadway. 1st row, could almost touch him. He hit me with toast that flew of stage. Wish I could've seen him acting new roles for 30 more years.

PSH' filmography is filled with great performances and films. My favourite actor along with Gary Oldman

I'm so sorry buddy. We miss you and your talent. Always hurts to lose one of us.

When your partner dies, and u r co dependent, u have to learn how to be alone, all over again.

Let this great actor rest in peace.

Surrendering day by day to the care of a loving God began with Step 7 of the 12 Steps and has been the anchor of my sobriety.

I ended up reading Truman. C after watching this Phenomenon portray him on screen. It will be tough to think of him as having passed.

Such a talented actor & so young. He was a favorite of mine👍

What a legend he was

There are some actors that when a new film of theirs comes out I really look forward to seeing it. Hoffman was one. Another one to me is Michael Shannon, his performance in Nocturnal Animals made the movie for me. If you haven't seen it, you should. Back to Seymour Hoffman. Very sad when he died. Maybe it was a brief look into his private life but his best movie to me was Before the Devil Knows You're Dead which was also Sidney Lumet's final film. A very devastating film. Anyway, cheers!

The voiceover tone on this is horrible. Lose the cheer in your voice when discussing a tragedy. The difference between an amateur and a pro is a pro much like a singer relates to the copy being read.

just finished watching Capote and then this came up on my suggested videos! Sadly missed.

so sad...and tragic...my heart goes out to Mimi and his children.

Alcohol is THE gateway drug. I’d bet if not for picking up alcohol he wouldn’t have gone for heroin.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman was in a league of his own. A magnificent character actor and there is only one other actor I can think of that is truly wonderful is Daniel Day-Lewis. Bloody shame that his life ended the way it did. Left far too soon

No doubt...he was a fabulous actor......just soooooo talented......no demons, just an addict.....that’s all....

I think it’s depression what triggers addiction. Blessed him ❤ he was amazing actor I hope you know!

Thank for adding eng sub sir 💕

At first I was angry with him for depriving us of decades of future performances, just to get high. Then I understood that the burden of his gift - the depth of his understanding of human suffering and lost dreams - was beyond the imaginings of us mere mortals. Now I am the one asking forgiveness.

What a loss to the the world the day he took his last breath. I'm sure he loved his family soioo much. Addiction is like a need once uve had it in ur system. Almost all the brilliant people have had addiction's. As a matter of fact we all have disabilities. God bless his beautiful family

Got a bit of a sour taste in my mouth after hearing what Mimi did. With all the means at her disposal, I think sending him away to be alone and live by himself was the worst thing someone could possible do in that situation. Even more so when your seeing the Red Flags all around from being in that kind of situation as a recovered addict, the only other worse thing she could of done was being his drug dealer. Many reasons why people become addicts is because they feel alone, their stuck in their own heads in a strictly negative manner, possibly experiencing PTSD from something traumatic that they have to drown their thoughts, feelings and actions any means necessary . regardless a sad story for everyone personally involved

Apparently, after Hoffman's death, Mimi's runs were countless. Even to this day, no one knows how many runs she achieved, but Philip's countless awards, which filled the island of Madagascar and the country Australia, never came close to her countless runs around the world. Countless....that which cannot be counted, is like Mimi who has not stopped running to this day. When she drops dead, we can finally count her runs! Which will be counted because they are not countless. Countless is the ineptitude and the size of the brain worm in the documentary writer-narrator's skull...which is infinity!

A truly self actualized man.

Wish I'd seen him in Death of A Salesman, too steep for the tickets, though I liked his last film role A Most Wanted Man. When it's time to go, it's time to go.

If it weren't for my kids.. I feel it. Hang in there.

I don't get why so many people think that it's not normal to have fear or get nervous at doing "normal" stuff like hitching a bus or sub and getting little panic attacks.. everyone has this symptoms.. its actually not normal to have no depression and anxiety.. if you don't have depression and anxiety than you are dumb as heck! This symptoms just show you that you are not who you should be and that you are ready to find the source of this pain to manage to evoulv from it.. you are not alone! Actually there are more people like us than you would believe.. just look at their eyes in the streets.. and that's just how society functions so the system is rolling..

Wow!
