The world is a less brighter place without this man on it, he's so sadly missed.

I can't help but think what a shame. What a shame we couldn't somehow save him. Mr Hoffman was such a talent. He also appeared to be a caring and giving individual.

Addiction is a most unpleasant medical condition, but he hardly needed “saving”, I agree. I wish he’d been around longer to enjoy his work, but at least he’s out of all that. He’d be the only one to decide if he wanted anymore of this, though. Love him, what a master, he lives forever!

Wow, brutal. No mercy here. The guy was only in his 40s and left three kids behind. I don’t believe “we” could have saved him, but addiction isn’t a choice, and he hardly “lived his life.” He was self-medicating some type of pain, and succumbed to it. After living sober for over 20 years. Wish he’d quit show biz instead. RIP.

He was so great as an actor. We were all robbed when he died

He should have received many, many, many more awards for his incredible acting.... So miss this wonderful actor.

I love his honesty about the messiness of becoming this character.

Hoffman was the most fascinating man I’ve ever listened to being that he was an actor. I’m not easily impressed by actors especially their personal lives or personalities, but Hoffman I could not get enough of just listening to him talk and be himself. So complex and nuanced. Utterly fascinating. What a loss. Rip Philip Hoffman.

❤Phillip Seymour Hoffman a Great Actor.

His speaking voice is very comforting

I've just spent the last two days watching all the tributes and interviews of PSH on KZread and this is by far the best. If you want to know the how and why he was so great, it is revealved here. You get to intimately know the artist and the man and it just makes his passing all the more heartbreaking. My tears are real.

​@margyrowland Seymour's drug-taking was a long suicide?

'Capote' was released to great acclaim, particularly regarding Hoffman's performance with many critics commenting that the role was designed to win awards, and indeed Hoffman received an Oscar, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, BAFTA and various other critics' awards. In 2006, Premiere listed his role in Capote as the 35th-greatest movie performance of all time.

Such a loss. One of my favorites. Amazing talent.

He was one of my favorite actors

I love how he is thinking about what he will say before he will open his mouth, he was the opposite of a star.

For the most part I think most people get lost when viewing actors and actresses.

Both Capote and Hoffman were hungry ghosts and we all lost so, so terribly as a consequence.

she was my professor!

In hindsight, the moment he talks about losing anonymity and being with in one’s own thoughts gets lost… wonder? ❤❤

He was very talented and was able to be sober for over 20yrs which is amazibg in itself but his downfall was he thought he could a single drink or two now and than which was a huge red flag and lead to his addiction again and it got out of control. The only person who can stop it is them overall. No one else can save the person. It's a horrible disease. Sad that he left behind 3 children who will not have their father. Luckily, we do have hus films 🎥 to remember him.

It’s heartbreaking to think of the effect his death had on his family.

''Nobody and everybody deserves sympathy.'' That is true. A libra is very neet, never dirty fingernails for Capote, but actually Philip was not that meticulous ever. This is just a proof of that even a great actor is not perfect. Nobody's perfect. Yeah, lots of money is changing your life. Unfortunately the down side of it is more money for alcohol and drug.

I think he suffered from depression. That is no wonder. It is no wonder because he had to bear up against a lot of pressure. Here in Germany depression is also known as "Die deutsche Krankheit". Considering that Hoffman had German ancestors and that in Germany the suicide rate is higher than in other industrialised countries it is surely a bit of a negative inheritance that he also had to fight against....
