[@JaceHarnage]

I saw Mr. Hoffman a few days before he passed. I was having coffee are a shop in Atlanta. He entered the coffeeshop with what appeared to be a script in his hand. He purchased a cup of coffee and appeared to study a script. As I was leaving I stopped by his table and told him how much I enjoyed his work. He was very pleasant. I remember he looked so very sad, almost looking as if he was on the verge of tears. I'll never forget how sad he looked.

Philip's loss really struck home here in his hometown. Phil went to the same high school as my daughter. The Senior Play , Death of a Salesman, in which he starred was a foreshadowing of his incredible talent. He was so kind and when in town to visit his Mom, he always stopped in to meet the Drama Club and give advise and encouragement to the kids. His great success never did away with his humble personality. It is tough to see one of your own snuffed out by drugs. There isn't a day that goes by that our hearts don't think, if only... Rest in Peace ...We miss you.

poor guy. sober for such a long time and then such a tragic relapse. He was the greatest actor of his generation. Without any doubt. He could play the phonebook. When he was in a movie for 5 minutes, those were the minutes you'd remember about that movie. And like is always the case with these extremly talented people you always wonder: what if? What kind of movies could he have made? What kind of things could he have done? Such a shame. But once an addict, always an addict. Even when someone is sober - he ar she is still an addict but not using at the moment.

Addiction mixed in with loneliness is a bad mix. Loneliness can be an intense feeling to feel and deal with especially during separation or a divorce. Daytime everything is great because the day is fulfilled and busy. Come night time after kids and the day came down then it's just you, even though people are in the next room, that feeling is intense. A constant pressure on ones chest and being inside a box closing in on you and it's hard to reach out to talk about it. Drugs will numb that feeling for some.

@@MAA77723 I understand the loneliness part and it weighs heavy on the heart. I've never experienced drug addiction before but have plenty of friends who had to battle this disease and I can only imagine the toll of addiction and loneliness combined together. It could almost be seen as no way out. Loneliness is as bad for me as it was to deal with at first but now combined with shelter in place sux. My days are busy but come night after kids go to bed and things settle down then it's just me. That's when it sinks in. Happy during the day😁, miserable at night. 😒 In time it'll get better, hopefully but I wish for the best dealing with both and if anyone feels this way, I urge them to reach out to someone, anyone who'll listen because sometimes having someone else listening can help out a lot.

I’ll never get tired of watching this man on screen. I grew up watching him grow famous and feeling like I knew him in some way. Or maybe it felt like he knew what it was like to be me. Probably both. His dying the way he did only made me feel more of a connection. I had only recently gotten out of rehab and had begun using again when I heard the news. I thought he had been clean for years so it was a bit of a shock. Maybe that inner turmoil he let through in his characters is what drew me to love his work, I don’t know but I wish he were here and I wish I could have been a friend to him.

Almost Famous is probably one of the best movies ever made. RIP Lester

[@cherylhulting1301]

I'm glad you brought it up. I absolutely loved PSH as Lester Bangs. No one else could have done it.

[@Thatguy55595]

Cheryl Hulting exactly that movie means a lot to me. Me and my old girl watched it’s 3 or so years ago we loved it but it makes me think about her unfortunately now

[@morganmoore51]

I miss him so much he was one of my favorites RIP

[@XHollisWood]

Tragic loss of a talented young man.

[@TralfazConstruction]

For every movie in which he appeared it is his enthusiastic "Dusty" in Twister (1996) that I keep going back to.

[@em286]

So sad. I used to have the biggest crush on him when he played Dusty in Twister. Addiction sucks.

[@nenaradicevic8079]

He was a clean 20 years from drugs suspicion

[@libertygiveme1987]

It's AMAZING how much Philip Seymour Hoffman looks like Jim Gaffigan!!!! LOVE BOTH OF THEIR WORKS!!!!

[@GarnetLynne]

Don't do drugs kids! No matter how great you may appear to be, there are dark corners in all of us.

[@Vessynikol]

A one of a kind talent. I love every single role he ever did. To think about alk the things he would have done by now. ..what a loss. He will always be one of my most beloved actors. Addiction is such horrible thing...

[@sayakahayashi8227]

I don’t know him personally but I miss him so much.

[@rosiebetty6601]

Then you need to get a real life

[@mizera_mykle]

When a person is clean for so long then uses again, two things may happen. 1) Their system can not handle the same amount they used at the time of stopping. Some don't think of this and end up dying from an unintended overdose. 2) When a person is clean for many long years the quality or strength of drugs can drastically change and increase. This too can sadly result in unintended death by accidental overdose. I'm sharing this because I feel it's important to know that not everyone who dies from an overdose was suicidal or knowingly careless. A favorite saying I enjoy is, "Experience is what you get *after* you needed it" This can tragically be true of drug overdose and alcohol poisoning with the person sometimes having a split-second Oh Phuck moment of awareness before dying and never getting to learn and live better from the newly and briefly gained experience. For those who struggle so hard through life I hope there is a Heaven where their spirit is renewed, allowing them peace and joy not found in mortal life. 🙏 🕊 ✨😔

[@Karatosa]

After 7 years of being clean, from time to time I still have the demons knockin to come back for a visit, I refuse to let them in.He was a great actor, but like so many of us a tormented soul, he finally found peace.

[@denasharpe2393]

Keep fighting and stay with us!! You have something to give or you would not have sent back!!

Still ( and forever) missing this great actor ❤️

One of my favorite actors

[@plzsavethebeez743]

Always in my heart....loved him! Wish he understood how much we all cared! Saw Star Wars after he was gone....cried all the way out the theater!

[@hellionsentinel]

I thought I was gonna watch some interesting facts about the man, rather than a gossip-like summary of someone’s private life

[@meepk633]

You thought "things that have come out since he died" was going to be interesting facts? Are you ok?

[@michiganjfrog366]

I was always a fan... Still am!! I loved his talent.. That's all i know of him as a man.. I will never judge his addiction.. Obviously he was talented and intelligent.. Addiction is a whole other story.. We all know that.. 💜you Phillip!

[@norasexinez6145]

ADDICTION IS A STRUGGLE!!! MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL....

[@melaniecarroll1305]

A great actor of our times... will always have this perspective no matter what... his personal struggles was nothing compared to brilliance he contributed to the entertainment world. Love him always!!!

[@CynthiaAnn3199]

I was really saddened by his death. I enjoyed his movies. I was always excited when he was in a new movie. Until his death I had no idea he struggled with addiction.

[@orion8835]

He was like most wonderful cheerful male friends . They have their dark secrets that belies a ludicrously jolly “face”. He was a great performer all round. He was a lot of fun to run into and it was a joy to having met him back in the day and later in the 2000’s. R. I. P.

[@gandalfstormcrow7943]

I’ll never forget him as Freddy Miles. How’s your peepin’ Tommy ??

[@scottaveles6900]

"Not only is he deceased, but recent rumours have been circulating that he is no longer alive, and has not been animated for some time...."

I thought 'deceased' and 'no longer alive' meant the same thing...🙄

The most fascinating man not just actor. So complex and nuanced. Such a loss. Rip Philip Hoffman.

[@carbon1479]

In other words he was as classy a guy as we thought he was, was grappling with his demons, and eventually lost his life to them. I can think of a whole string of musicians who I could say the same about.

[@fastcomputerrepairs]

In the movie Doubt with Meryl Streep ... amazing movie, amazing acting. Also, Talented Mr. Ripley.

[@viccamay6871]

Philip Seymour Hoffman was a very talented actor. I'm sorry to learn about his death.

[@janesackville-faught668]

Heartbreaking for such a talented man!

[@martinnolan4800]

A unique man and a good man. His addiction was such a terrible enemy.

[@edgaralanfrog]

I still can’t believe he’s dead, it takes me by surprise whenever I’m reminded

[@MelsLife570]

I think when an actor is as amazing as he was, it has to be hard taking on these roles and bring that to life...becoming that person then it ends. That has to be dark.

[@tripled921]

In my humble opinion the mark of a truly great actor is when you can know the actor and or cast but their performance is as such, in that one forgets said actor and becomes enamored in the character and storyline they are portraying. Phillip delivered this in every role he was cast in. An amazing talent. It’s a shame that genius and deep dark psychological problems often are conjoined twins. Both in a battle to cancel the other out. Sadly it seems the darkness gets it way more often than not. He is and will be sorely missed.
