Fantastic actor, one of my favourites. And heroin? GODDAMMIT!

This is devastating news.

 

[Anth0ny]

WTF

R.I.P

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Well, this years oscar will be even sadder now.

Yeah, Peter O'Toole, Joan Fontaine, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Roger Ebert, James Gandolfini, Ray Harryhausen, etc.

Not related to movies, but Lou Reed because he was fucking Lou Reed.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I wonder if his character will be written out of the Hunger Games films. This is such a tragedy...

They've been filming both films back-to-back since September. I imagine they have a fair amount of his scenes to work around.

Regardless, this is tragic. I didn't even know the guy had substance abuse problems.

 

[GlamFM]

My favorite Hoffman performance, for real.

That's right.

 

[SolidChamp]

For what possible reason would he be using drugs? He seemed so happy.

Why does anyone do drugs? What kind of question is that?

 

[Jarrod38]

Sad but I have always thought he would die from a heart attack.

 

[jayu26]

Fuck man! Devastating news. RIP brother.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Holy shit. That sucks R.I.P.

 

[Empty]

damn. rip.

loved his work. particularly with paul thomas anderson and in (one of my favourite films) synecdoche new york.

 

[Toa TAK]

This really sucks, and I was shocked to see the thread title. RIP.

 

[Forsete]

Nooo!

This is fucking terrible.

RIP

 

[Aurongel]

The Hunger Games is in trouble now.

 

[Speevy]

One of the greatest American actors of all time.

RIP.

 

[FairyD]

Holy shit that was unexpected.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Awe fuck

 

[maquiladora]

Awful news. So sad.

 

[Kraftwerk]

I stared at the thread title for 5 minutes in disbelief. Holy shit...so fucking sad.

goddamnit...R.I.P :"(

 

[GDGF]

Fucking sad

One of my all time favorite actors.

 

[F0rneus]

Oh man, that's unexpected. He was an outstanding actor. RIP.

 

[DarkNtity]

This was like one of our generations top tier actors. Fuck.

 

[M.W.]

RIP. So Sad.

 

[zroid]

DAMN

RIP

 

[Amagon]

This is some shitty news to wake up to. You will be missed Dusty.

 

[Tashi]

Insane.

RIP

 

[mxgt]

What the fuck man. What the fuck. He was one of the best in the business.

RIP

 

[kingocfs]

Seeing on Twitter he was in the bathroom with a fucking needle in his arm? Awful.

 

[Speevy]

The Hunger Games is in trouble now.

That shitstain series can find a replacement.

Quality films are what will suffer.

Think of how many Oscars this man could have won.

 

[Ensirius]

What a stupid way to die.

Do. Not. Do. Drugs.

 

[Aquamarine]

Very slight update by WSJ:

The actor was found in the bathroom of his fourth floor apartment in the Pickwick House around 11:15 a.m. by a screenwriter, who called 911, the official said.

It's news to me too. Really unexpected.

 

[Zeth]

Terrible terrible news. One of my favorite modern actors

I hope it wasn't drugs. I'd hate to see the US media use it to push the Heroine+Fentanyl meme.

 

[Moff]

I'm shocked really, he was amazing, seriously one of the best out there, and I am sure he would have still had his best performances before him, goddamn

 

[inm8num2]

Christ, that's awful.

I just watched Doubt earlier today, too. :/

 

[MacNille]

It looks like it was drugs. Fuck heroine. Fuck it to hell.

It was drugs. Fell off the wagon

 

[MYE]

what the fuck??!!!!!

 

[Leeness]

NO.

I love him. He's so great. NOOOOOO.

 

[B.K.]

Seeing on Twitter he was in the bathroom with a fucking needle in his arm? Awful.

That's what the woman reporting on CNN just said, too.

 

[inky]

No words.

RIP.

Indeed. And even if the guy wasn't all ways in quality movies he still did amazing job. I haven't seen any of the Hunger Games movies so can't say how he was in them.

 

[Rabbitweed]

I was not aware of his drug problems Damn shame. He was definitely a talented actor with a lot of great performances.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Watching The Master tonight after the Superbowl in his honor.

Put it off for too long, forgive me sir.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Very slight update by WSJ:

ugh that's awful

 

[Blablurn]

He was great in Mission Impossible 3. RIP.

So you mean Leo might be in with a chance now?

Also I thought he did a pretty awesome job in hunger games, his acting/role in the second one is the only reason I was looking forward to the third

 

[Chojin]

This is awful. I think he had 3 kids and a wife as well? Thoughts go out to their family.

I'm sad that Hunger Games will be his last movie ever. Also I know they finished filming Part three: Part one, but I wonder how much he was able to get finished for Part Three: Part 2.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Wtf? I absolutely adored him as an actor especially in bad guy roles such as MI3.

R.I.P. You shall be missed....

 

[Byronic Hero]

This surprised the heck out of me, especially since it was the first thing I read this morning.

My brother is going to be devistated, PSH is one of his favroite actors. RIP
