Philip Seymour Hoffman


Philip Seymour Hoffman (Los Angeles, California) For all who have followed Philip Seymour Hoffman’s film career, it has been an exciting journey. “Multiply that by one thousand, for me,” says Hoffman, recently, when I speak with him after his Oscar win for the mesmerizing and stunning portrayal of the late, effete and gay, Truman Capote - an icon in his era, for part of his life, at least. “Capote” was one of those small films - a film that cost next to nothing to make - that was so good, in every sense of the word, that it found an audience of film lovers and the Academy found it, nominating it for a plethora of Oscars, including Best Picture and Director. Hoffman’s win for Best Actor, however, is the real prize, because without Hoffman, there would have been no “Capote” on the big screen. --more--
