The People's Champ Hall of Fame: Philip Seymour Hoffman

Photobucket

Philip is easily one of the finer actors of our generation whether anyone likes it or not. No actor/actress has the kind of resume he has. He has been able to seemlessly transform into a unique character in all his films and has a range unlike anyone I've ever seen.

See him in MI:III as a villain you grow to hate.
See him in Along Came Polly as the friend we all have.
See him in Synecdoche, New York as a tragic hero you sympathize with.

Those are just very recent prominent roles where people may not have captured his true genius. See him next week in Doubt, a movie about a priest coming under fire for sexual molestation. Pay close attention and see the true transformation from actor to character.
