Philip Seymour Hoffman - dies, aged 46 - R.I.P.

Hollywood and the movie going public are in mourning today for the loss of one of it's true greats.

Tragically, Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his New York apartment on Sunday morning 2nd February from an alleged drug overdose, aged 46.

An accomplished actor of silver screen and stage, Hoffman had been acting since 1991 and in that time had appeared in 60+ films, won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Truman Capote in 2005, and been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar a further three times. He made his Directorial debut in 2010, and had been nominated also three times for the Stage Awards - 'The Tony's'.

Hoffman's credits included the most recent 'HUNGER GAMES' franchise, as well as note worthy roles in 'MONEYBALL', 'BOOGIE NIGHTS', 'THE BIG LEBOWSKI', 'MI:III', 'ALMOST FAMOUS', 'RED DRAGON', 'THE BOAT THAT ROCKED' and of course 'CAPOTE'.

His versatility as an actor, his conviction to those characters he portrayed and the diversity of the roles chosen across his filmography will ensure his memory lives on and his legacy is forever committed to celluloid.

A real loss - PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN - forever Rest In Peace!
1967-2014.
