Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014)

I know Philip Seymour Hoffman from The Big Lebowski, Twister, Patch Adams, Capote, Doubt, Charlie Wilson's War, and The Hunger Games. In every role he plays he always delivered beyond expectation. His capacity to perform and understand life's complexities is what all actors hope to achieve. 

It's amazing when we listen to the circumstances surrounding his death, we dismiss the tragic end and are quick to celebrate his life. We don't think poorly of him for his choices, we instead mourn what would have been. 

He is a beloved actor, who demonstrated a higher standard of quality film and performance we hope to see again in the entertainment community. 

Rest in peace old boy.
