Phillip Seymour Hoffman found dead at 46.
« on: February 03, 2014, 0027 UTC »
We lost a great one.  I remember him from "Twister," "Capote," "The Boat That Rocked," and "Boogie Nights."  Sad times....

He was found with not only a spike In his arm but 7 bags of dope , 5 of them empty. Not to sound cold hearted but the guy was asking for it. As a recovered (or recovering) addict I know of what I speak here.  To do that much stuff ..alone , nobody to help you should you "go out" is foolish, to put it mildly (doing it at all is pretty foolish). I like to think I survived my 25 years in heroin hell by always knowing when to stop & never doing what he apparently did. PSH was a brilliant talent & its a great loss. What a waste.

He was also excellent in Charlie Wilson's War... a film on Afghanistan I recommend to all.
