Philip Seymour Hoffman is my favourite actor of all time, no one could portray tragedy and misery as effective as him. Synecdoche, New York was a life changing film and it's such a shame that we lost such a great artist and master of his own craft.
It's been nearly a decade and I still get sad when I think about him. He was truly one of the greats. It's unfortunate when anyone dies relatively young, but we lost a great artist when we lost him.
Same here he's my top favorite of all time
He’s one of the best actors of all time
Over-rated over-actor.
That movie gave me an existential crisis.
Bill Burr is absolutely spot on about Philip. He was one of the most incredible actors of all time. When he passed, the world lost a very special person. He was absolutely brilliant in every single role he ever played. I never met him, but I still miss him.
No you don't
@@Bas_karna Yes I do
I don't think dying young from a drug overdose is really considered passing away.
@@johnjones3813 Perhaps he should not be remembered for how he died, but how he lived. A drug overdose did not make him any less human. You're right though, when young people die that way, it should not be considered ''passing away''. It should be considered a tragedy.
@@Bas_karnaGive him a break, he is probably only about twelve, another one is “ my life is empty without whoever” get a fucking, life pretty sure they don’t miss you,
Not to take away from his serious roles but his comedic talents in Along Came Polly were absolute gold. Truly one of the most versatile actors.
"We have to go." "Why?"
"I just sharted."
LET IT RAIN!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant in that movie. Stole every scene as usual.
oh man, he killed me in that movie.
Wonderful actor. We're all very fond of him. Very free-spirited.
PSH's range was unbelievable. There was no type of character or genre he couldn't knock completely out of the park. One of the finest actors of our time. His death was a terrible loss.
Agreed....he played broken characters so well, but then he could play super villians like in MI and rich trust fund a$$holes like in The Talented Mr. Ripley....incredible range.
Such a tragic loss. Like Burr, I feel as if I've seen everything he's done......not even close. "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead". Screwin Merisa Tomei with that big belly. EVERYTHING about his character.....BRILLIANT! I like to think the heroine was uneccessary to achieve the depth with which he consumed a character , but....
Phil was lucky to go early and peacefully. I know I won't be that lucky. Congratulations, Phil.
Thank god somebody is talking about Owning Mahoney, it’s one of his finest performances and it isn’t talked about enough.
Love Liza is good so is his drag queen performance in flawless..in gods pocket is good too…
That’s because the character was so pathetic, painful to watch.
It's a crazy feeling watching an actor like PSH because you can just undeniably see that their performance is coming from such a raw, real, painful place inside. And not just like grand, elevated, romanticized tragedy that we see often in art, but like the unflattering, depressing, everyday, plodding, nitty-gritty, unsexy kind of stuff.
That part of the human condition is something we usually try to just bury inside. Like, all the little withering moments in life that we go through, the ugly stuff, the guilty/shameful feelings, the inadequacies, the fuckups, the self-loathing, the humiliations, the cringey memories, the things you sorta choose to ignore or forget about yourself because they're just too wretched to keep in mind for very long... that was the stuff that PSH was digging into full-bore in most of his work. I dare even say that it burned him a little bit, staring into that abyss so much. But man, what great and beautiful art he made out of it.
Really great comment, and the Nietzscheism couldn't be more appropriate. I don't have much to add, maybe I'm just saying some of the same thing in my own words... that his willingness and ability to portray those unflattering characters, to weep until snot is running down his face, is something that sets him far apart (and above imo) from the beautiful box office stars. There's a kind of catharsis in viewing those scenes that you can identify with in your dark places and I will always have a deep appreciation for the amazing work he gave us.
Even the unlikable characters (as Freddie in the Talented Mr. Ripley or that rich snot George Jr. in Scent of a Woman) he played were so well-nuanced he made the most of those smaller roles that could have been easily forgettable if played by a lesser actor.
Well.. It killed him.
Well.. He died. Whether or not he was "killed" is not openly known about. @@stentor9640
Personhood is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me.
Beautifully summarised.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead was AMAZING!!! This man was the best actor ever!!
yes
Perhaps the most realistic toxic older brother ever portrayed. Horrifying.
people forget the supporting roles that he nailed. The Talented Mr Ripley and Red Dragon come to mind. dude was great in both small parts.
Red Dragon was terrible. Hoffman was the best thing in it and also the best cast actor in a film full of miscast people.
Psh was Patch Adam's roommate, another great role
I appreciate great acting and his deeper, more difficult roles.
And still a big favorite of mine is in Almost Famous. That's a good one to watch if you're in the mood for some PSH on a lighter note!
Tom Hanks was the lead actor in Charlie Wilsons war but I still think PSH was the main character. Got the best lines in that movie by a mile.
My estimation of him as an actor only goes up as time goes on. He’s in so many films, and he’s always excellent. Always makes the film better. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is remembered as one of the absolute greats.
GOAT
He is one of the best. Any movie he was in you wouldn't be disappointed. Too bad that only the good die young. RIP
I was washing down a piece of equipment on a movie location when a guy stopped and said, "hey this Texas heat is killing me, would you mind misting me a bit, please?" So I sprayed some water up into the air and he stood under it as the gentle cool mist settled over him. When he had enough, he laughed, thanked me and went on his way refreshed. I had no idea who the guy was until I saw the film later on, "Leap of Faith". Look for PSH, possibly at his most buff that you'll have ever seen him. It's a small role for him, but he did very well in it.
His talent cannot be overstated. He was absolutely unreal. Mad respect to Bill Burr for being a fan too!
Actually, it can be overstated. It's all over these comments.
Owning Mahowny is such a great Hoffman film to watch on any given evening. He was such a powerhouse, insane to think he has been gone so long.
What's so 'insane' about that? It's a perfectly logical amount of time.
The language is being drowned in Hyperbole.
I loved Hoffman as the priest and Streep as the nun principle of a school in "Doubt." One of the best movies I've ever seen. Perhaps even the perfect movie. As a bit of a subject matter expert on priests and nuns, having walked that path for a few years, I can honestly say that the plot and characters were totally believable to me.
You were a priest? Why’d you leave?
@@Dapryor In the Roman Catholic Church, I was what is known as a "Relgious Brother," or, as I would say to Protestants and unfamiliar Catholics, "it's like a male nun." Years later, I was ordained as a priest in an "independent Catholic jurisdiction," which is basically a schismatic Catholic denomination, not Roman Catholic but made up of mostly former Roman Catholic clergy and educated lay people. Some schismatic Catholic Churches are either very traditional (Latin Mass, rejection of Vatican II etc) while others are schismatic over issues like gay marriage, divorce, inclusion of everyone at Communion, etc.) I belonged to the latter rather than the former. The schismatic clergy do everything on their own time, usuallly with their own money, and aren't paid for doing so. Parishes are often very small, and space i often rented in a Protestant church for an hour or two each week.
But to address why I left the Brothers in the Roman Catholic Church, I don't believe I was seriously contemplating it. A priest would come to the house to say Mass every morning EXCEPT for Sunday Mass. One Saturday night before leaving for Mass at the parish, I blurted out, "I am not going to renew my vows." And that was that. A HUGE weight seemed to have been lifted off me. When I returned home to my mom, I realized that she needed me far more than the Brothers did.
This movie seemed VERY realistic to me. The priest was like most priests I've ever known personally (and I've known a lot). And the principal reminded me of my house superior, who was tough but very dedicated - just like Meryl Streep. Regarding scandals, I had no knowledge of anything involving kids but there were rumors about some of the Brothers fraternizing too much with lay people or even with one another. It was a very lonely life.
Great screenplay
I love this movie. I was a Compulsive Gambling Counselor for years and this is a brutally honest portrayal of a compulsive gambler’s life. As hard as it is to watch, imagine being the spouse of a compulsive gambler and finding out your spouse forged your name on second, third and fourth mortgages. The average gambler doesn’t present for treatment until they are around $300,000 in debt.
Just lost a week's earnings today playing poker. I basically worked all week for nothing, but 2 weeks ago I won 9 games in a row betting basketball/NFL. Its a weird addiction. Every time I think I have some discipline I'm wrong. I function, but I don't have what I should have considering my education & income. I just got married in May and that helps. I spend less and less time gambling.
@@user-zg2pr4vq8q I’m sorry you’re struggling with that. Pathological gambling is actually diagnosed as an Impulse Disorder, not an addiction. Having said that, gamblers engage in a lot of addictive thinking. I would recommend reading the book “Addictive Thinking and The Addictive Personality”. It is an old book but it’s easy to understand and to relate to.
The reasons to make the distinction is that Pathological Gambling are listed below.
1. Pathological Gambling is a far more devastating condition than an addiction. Its adverse effects are more widespread.
2. An addict can limit the damage they do by not using alcohol or drugs. If they don’t use, they don’t trigger the brain chemistry that keeps them drinking or using. The gambler does not need to ingest anything to be “in action”. Simply remembering a big win triggers the brain chemistry to get them “in action”. Once that is done, it is VERY difficult to control the urge to gamble. (Same as if an addict started using to drinking.)
3. A Pathological Gambler has no saturation point. Addicts do, they drink or drug until they pass out. Their body creates physical consequences to make them slow down. A Pathological Gambler doesn’t stop until the money is gone. And they wake up the next day with an idea of how to win all the money back. I’ve seen Pathological Gamblers forge their spouse’s name on multiple house mortgages and other documents that left their family financially devastated. I’ve also seen them take out life insurance policies on their spouse and children. No one wants to think about that, but addictive thinking can get very dark, and seduce the Pathological Gambler into doing something they and their family would have never thought possible.
3. A Pathological Gamblers often create consequences that are far more devastating than addicts. Financial consequences include forged mortgages, loans taken out in the spouses name and destroying their spouses credit to name a few. And, I would guess that most of the high dollar amount of embezzlement cases that make the news are done by Pathological Gamblers. Pathological Gamblers also have a significantly higher rate than addicts of attempting to end their lives. To this end, they often take out a huge life insurance policy on themselves when they begin to get desperate. At that point, they see the insurance policy the only way to make it up to their family.
I would urge you to start counseling with a Certified Pathological Gambling Counselor as soon as possible. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and used to be certified to counsel Pathological Gamblers as well. Many states will allow a Master’s Level Counselor or Social Worker to provide counseling to Pathological Gamblers. DO NOT see anyone who is not specifically certified in Pathological Gambling. As of 15 years ago, there were not a lot of Gambling Counselors, so other counselors were allowed to provide services. I can tell you from experience that Pathological Gambling is unlike any other disorder and you need someone specifically trained to dal with it.
Now that I’ve told you a lot of bad news, I will say that Pathological Gamblers absolutely get into recovery and can do great things! You can financially recover as well and have a meaningful, honest relationship with your wife. But you have to want more than you’ve ever wanted anything. Good luck to you my friend and keep me updated if you are comfortable with that!
Whoa! Owning Mahoney is my “hidden gem no one has ever heard of” film. Loveitsomuch
Nobody ever mentions his role as a preacher in Cold Mountain, but he absolutely NAILS that role!
Owning Mahowny is one of my all-time favorites.
The greatest actor of our times, the man could play any character in any scenario with incredible depth and in the most nuanced way. A terrible loss for all of us who love cinema.
lol Daniel Day Lewis says hold my beer
@@curragh4635 they are both Legends in their own right. But DDL beats him out overall.
@@curragh4635 DDL is the greatest actor of all time very true
I was a feature extra on the Mocking Jay movies as one of actor Mahershala Ali’s character’s security guards. I was on set with Philip a lot in his last months up to just two weeks before he passed. I didn’t see him on set for a couple of weeks and then I heard of his untimely passing. 😢 It was a big shock and really made me think about things after seeing him on set every day for a couple of months to him suddenly just not being there anymore. He was very immersed in things yet seemed in his own world at the same time I remember. One time on set I was just trying to move around because it was winter Atlanta chilly and there’s hours of standing around and sitting doing nothing between takes. Inside the set of what was called the command center It was really chilly and dark so I went outside and did some sun salutations because I like to practice yoga and wanted to keep warm and limber. It was nicer outside because it was a crisp sunny late morning. Philip was standing outside also by himself with his journal book a couple hundred feet away. He kept a journal with him and wrote things down in it from time to time (after a take or just off set walking around). I saw out of my peripheral while I was doing my movements that he had walked over from where he had been standing and was just watching me doing my movements from maybe fifteen to twenty feet away for 30-45 seconds. Maybe a minute or two (I didn’t stop I just kept in my flow). Then he walked away. That was my only interaction with him but when I think back on it I feel pretty honored that I took part in something that he felt he wanted to walk over and observe more closely. Got to share a little space with one of the greats. RIP Philip.
Watched all of his movies a couple years back, about one per week. Even in small roles, he was absolutely captivating every time he was on screen.
Bill’s right about these devastating and difficult to watch characters but PSH also had phenomenal comedic chops. Understood every assignment
I knew he was a talent from his performance in "Scent of a Woman." His acting in Mission Impossible III was riveting!!! Easily one of the best cinematic villains I've seen!!!! RIP-P.S.H.
such a brilliant actor... The Master along side Joaquin and Amy Adams, one of my favourites.
Have you seen Junebug (2005)? One of my favorite Amy Adams movies and just a favorite in general, truly excellent overall.
@JW-vd4il I haven't seen it but the trailer looks really good... with good writing. She's a great actress👌 or is it actor?? I don't even know anymore!🤦♂️😁
Fuck The Master. That’s where he relapsed and everyone who knows knows.
“A bumpy fu****g ride” is the most Bill Burr and the most accurate statement. This dude is a master.
When I saw Boogie Nights at the theater, PSH's Scotty stood out amongst a laundry list of great performances. A few months later, watching The Big Lebowski in the first night of general release, Brandt's appearance was a "There's that guy!" moment, after which he was always on my radar.
But you're right: it feels like he was in a many movies as Nicholas Cage. How can you see them all?
He has never disappointed. The films of his I haven't seen I feel like I'm saving. There will be no new Philip Seymour Hoffman movies in the world. I don't want there to be no new ones for me.
But now you've given me the jones, so there will be one fewer tonight!
He was terrible in Twister but I think that was the point or just bad directing
... in the Big Lebowski when he flares his nostrils when fake laughing at the Dude's antics ... he did quirky stuff like that lol
Easily one of the great actors of all time.
Totally agree! Philip Seymour Hoffman is probably my favourite actor of all time. He could go from pathetic loser to terrifying tyrant so convincingly. He was so watchable and relatable and likeable. Famous people die sometimes and it's sad, but with Hoffman I was geniunely bummed. Felt like I knew him a little from all his movies I'd watched and was bummed we wouldn't get to see more of him.
The difference between Philip Seymour Hoffman and most other actors is he *actually* feels all of the emotions he is portraying on screen. So, it's not that he is a good "actor" so to speak, because he doesn't really act. He becomes the character. He 100% feels what the character would feel. There is a very short list of actors who can truly pull this off. Daniel Day Lewis is another one.
Agree 100% I love to watch DDL in anything but he comes across as being a performer onscreen to me. A damned FINE one for sure and he brings the goods, but in real life, people are not 100% dramatic 100% of the time (maybe a 12 year old girl like my daughter or her friends comes close though) Lol. Every character PSH played onscreen just looked like he accidentally walked onto the film set, he blends in so naturally and projects so much NEED, that you cannot turn away. Even in his more villainous and negative characters.
Well, DDL was really the only other actor I could think of who comes close. Philip Seymour Hoffman truly is in a league of his own.
Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, Ben Kingsley, just off the top of my head, are infact superior as they can command a screen presence which is extraordinarily profound. PSH is good but only as support, he cannot carry a film by himself.
He was a great Actor with incredible range, and fearless. Thanks
The first time I saw Seymour Hoffman playing one of his characters was in Happiness. I was shocked, glued to the screen. My admiration for this actor never ceased, only grew and keeps growing.
Hoffman's scotty J in boogie nights is just a masterpiece of character acting...🙏❤️
Happiness is one of the greatest dark comedies of all time.
I've loved Phil Hoffman forever. He was easily one of the best character actors of all time, and one of the best actors of his generation, period. He was electric in ways that people who looked like him usually aren't noticed for. It fucking sucks that he's gone. I'm just thankful that he was so goddamn prolific for the 25 years he was in the biz.
A phenomenal actor that could never cruise by on looks, humor or charm. He had to be a real actor and he put everything into his art. Another great soul and talent lost to addiction. What a loss.
Agreed he couldn't cruise by on looks as so many do, but he wasn't without humour or charm, and he had a good voice.
My favourite actor. Two superb films Happiness & Flawless not mentioned. Arguably deserved Oscar nominations for those along with Love Liza. Still gutted he died so young.
So am I.
Love Liza is in my top 10 films of all time. Very underrated. A beautiful tragicomedy.
His acting was stellar and amazing, such a tragedy to lose him
Owning Mahoney is an EPIC movie... watched it years ago and still think it's one of my favourite characters by him
Yes. The first thing I ever saw Hoffman in was Love Liza about a year after release. It completely did my head in, his performance was so raw and riveting I couldn't get it out of my mind for days. From that day forward I made a point to watch everything he put out, the man channeled his demons into his work and for better or worse it resulted in stunning roles.
Not only was he an incredible “Dramatic Actor”-His role in “Along Came Polly” is legitimately one of the Greatest _Comedic_ Performances I’ve ever seen. He is _absolutely_ *hysterical* in that movie.
It was old school.
The only Academy Award winner to say, "I sharted." ❤
that was in Closer yes?@@ggsilik
@@rossgeography no, ACP
@@ericsarchive7718 mad I remembered that as the art gallery scene from Closer (if one exists!!) haha
Him in Mission Impossible 3 as a bad guy was just incredible even. I love the MI's but the bad guys aren't always given a lot to work with. I'm not talking shit, it's just the nature of those movies. God damn did he make the most of it. That "who are you?" Scene is just excellent
Cliched and predictable.
Same with Crispin Glover in MI. He understands big Hollywood films and when to take a performance over the top.
@@sgt.thundercok4704your response? Honest of you. PSH in that scene is incredible.
@@mmck6293 - I don't worship actors like you. I see them for what they are. They're just talking heads propped up by actual talent. The fact they can take any privileged spawn of someone and stick them in front of you until you believe is proof enough.
I called it on Nicholas Cage many decades ago, at the time of 'The Boy in Blue', and it took you geniuses that long to catch up, until he's gone full circle.
Nice to see somebody bringing up Owning Mahoney. What a great film!
I love his character in Happiness.
Dude literally steals every scene of every movie he’s in. One of the greatest American actors of all time without question.
He was excellent in every thing he did.
A brilliant actor who left us too soon. I am in awe of his acting chops. I often wanted to be an actor, because of how great his performances were.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was a brilliant actor who could not outrun his demons. A common occurrence in that surreal world of show business/entertainment.
Owning Mahoney is a hard watch for anyone who's ever experienced addictions. Hoffman was mercurial in that he could be pathetic, funny, menacing (Mission Impossible) and more.
Would have loved to have seen what more this talented, gone-too-soon actor would have blessed us with.
RIP
As a 50yo recovered addict, man this one hurt. The details...I could picture them. Thanks for the pain you helped decrease amongst all of us by sharing your own, he paid the price for it.
There’s a tiny bit in The Big Lebowski where he asks the dude not to touch the pictures on the wall. And the dude touches the picture again. And Hoffman makes this little wince. It’s priceless.
My favorite actor of all time hands down
Big Lebowski he is so underrrated ....And as Lester Bangs in Almost Famous he is priceless......He is up there with Oldman and Hackman for me as maybe top 3 ever.
Owning Mahoney is SUCH a great film. PSH was a bloody brilliant actor in everything he did. As a Torontonian I love seeing Toronto portrayed in the 80's.
Watch him in 2 unbelievable films. The Master & Before the Devil knows your dead. 💪💪
Owning Mahoney was a great film, Hoffman was brilliant in it.
Unbelievably his acting was only getting better.............
The master of his generation's performance
Absolutely one of my favorite actors of all time. Just brilliant, pretty much stole every scene of every movie he was in..
I feel the exact same way as Bill Burr in this respect. There are lots of great actors, but to me, Philip Seymour Hoffman was the greatest of my lifetime. I've never felt this way about any other actor.
He really had no peer. I thought he towered over JP's compelling but rather twitchy performance in the Master. Maybe only DDL is at his level, but think about how much soul and humanity (and pain) PSH brought to every single role.
He is one of those rare actors that is FUN to watch. It's just acting and he is killing it.
Hoffman was AGONIZINGLY GOOD to watch. That's the best way I know to put it. Even when he was playing a despicable, reprehensible character, you still felt for him, because Hoffman made him so real. He was the real deal.
The range of characters that Philip Seymour Hoffman could play was insane. Just look at his work with PTA:
He's in 6 of PTA's movies and no two of his characters are even a little alike (although I could see his character in Hard Eight growing up to be his character in Punch-Drunk Love)
Thank you for posting this, Hoffman was always authentic.
My favorite actor of all time. Been saying this for years, so good! Julianne Moore is my favorite actress. PTA really knew how to pick em!
Just saw him in Cold Mountain last night playing a southern scoundrel during the civil war and he stole every scene he was in. What a great talent, especially when you compare his work with that of much more famous and better paid actors.
He also played in another movie with Jude Law as his best friend in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
He was so versatile and had real depth. The Savages is wonderful.
What stuck with me in this movie being an addict my self... Was the end his therapist asking him on a scale from 1 to 10 how did you feel gambling? "11". Then the therapist asks him can you live your life at a 4?
The guy was so talented. Never a bad performance.
Before the devil knows your dead is another smaller movie he did that is great.
One of my favorite performances from Hoffman is in “Magnolia.” I find it impossible not well up watching him in the background while Tom Cruise breaks down in front of Jason Robards. Such an incredible scene and one of the few roles where he plays an almost angelic character.
"I thought I'd seen most of his work, I barely saw any of it." Same here. It's a literal treasure trove of film experiences.
I can't believe I got through Love Liza.... he's just so fucking phenomenal, you can't stop. Probably the best actor of his generation.
He's one of the best, without a doubt.
One of the greatest actors of this generation...as time passes by his talent will be more appreciated.
Man , I saw Love Liza years ago and was completely blown away by his performance!
Really a shame that he just couldn’t keep it together ~
RIP PSH
Philip's performance in "Love Liza" is the most realistic depiction of a grief stricken man ever filmed! His Brother wrote the script. I saw this movie after my Mom died, and could totally relate. Todd Louiso has balls for directing it!
he’s from my hometown. seriously talented guy. such a loss. 👑
Thank you for mentioning Owning Mahoney, I haven’t seen it yet, and it’s on Tubi. He’s my all time favorite actor.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was such a brilliant actor and it was such a shame that we lost him way to soon.
His range, the depth of his characters… I don’t think I’ve seen that elsewhere. A once in a lifetime talent and sad he’s no longer with us.
*He was such a brilliant actor. The talented Mr. Ripley he played that character so well. The Master, just faharking brilliant*
The best screen actor of his time. What a needless loss.
Thanks Bill, always loved work by PSH, this motivated me to see the rest of his work.
Love Liza was a really powerful film. If you liked him in that, watch Jack Goes Boating. Another great performance.
Hoffmann's portrayal of the CIA agent in Charlie Wilson's War overshadowed Hanks's performance. His final scene with Hanks when there was no dialogue just an intense conversation foreshadowed everything we know about UBL, the Taliban and our two decade long wars.
this was an EXCELLENT movie and possibly his best work after Capote
He nailed the role in Owning Mahoney
His cameo in Hard Eight is one of the greatest ever!
Shakalaka doooby doo
If there were a 'Mount Rushmore' of great actors, IMHO, PSH would be on a pedestal ABOVE BY A GREAT DISTANCE any male actor ever. His personal investment in the role was so immense that there is no chance any given actor could or should try to live up to it. Mere mortals cannot sustain that level of excellence for extended times.
We are so fortunate to have the 2D version of him. He was a generational talent.
He deserves as much credit as we can give him.
Thank you, Philip Seymour Hoffman!!
Every role Hoffman played was interesting, I loved it when he had a new film coming out. It really pissed me off when he died...God Rest His Soul.
Absolutely brilliant actor. The Master is one of my favourites.
I Love his role in almost Famous ❤
He’s one of very few actors who could genuinely disturb you with some of his work & I mean that as a total compliment ,some of them were so creepy that they stayed in my head for days after watching them 🖤too good for this earth apparently ? 😞
I am still not over PSH's passing 😢
He is so good at turning into different characters (even different souls) and the diversity is way beyond most actors'.
Your right... He had a depth that has rarely been matched. He also lived close to the edge and finally jumped out of life.
He made the film so good. Love him
Yep I first became aware of his talent on Boogie Nights, awesome
Sad, sad loss. He was definitely a master of his craft and a favorite of mine.
Just watched it after seeing this. Great movie.
Happiness was amazing work by Hoffman.
Great acting in that movie but damn I felt like i needed a shower after watching it .
@@kevinb7126 ha! Very eww inducing. I've recommended it to friends over the years but it's a hard sell.
Owning Mahowny, great movie, seen it a number of times
