Tremendous pressure to be great. Constantly under the intense scrutiny. And in actors cases, the burden of living the lives of others.

Why do people do drugs? Because they feel good. Problem is a lot of drugs have gigantic setbacks. Anyone can afford heroin, shit can be extremely cheap. Being a celebrity and having cash to afford whats seems to be a limitless amount of drugs makes addiction just as bad or worse compared to non celebrity addiction.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Shocking, especially the cause. So sad 
There were a lot of people, probably on this forums, who were concerned about The Dark Knight when Heath Ledger died too. It's not uncommon.

even though he won an academy award, I still feel he was a very underrated actor by the general public.
Every film enthusiasts would know him, yet the casual movie watchers would never be able to remember his name.
I remember watching The Big Lebowski a couple months ago for the first time in ages with a group of friends. Someone asked what his name was, in a room of five guys I was the only one who could recall his name.
He was a great actor and will be missed.

I really feel PSH was one of the greatest actors of our age. He'll be sorely missed, by loved ones and by cinema alike. Rest in peace.
Any PSH fan who hasn't seen it should watch Synecdoche, New York. I hate ranking things that I love because I'm bad at it, but Synecdoche, New York is without question one of the top 5 movies I've seen in my life thus far. And, of course, PSH brings it.

He was my favorite actor.
This one hit pretty hard. Incredible and versatile person within his craft. He will be missed.
Questions of morality concerning the way he died, or the state of his appearance are petty at best. Thankfully there is a world filled with more creative people than the critics within this thread.

Shit. Great actor. Loved him in MI3. Always plays a great villain. Will be missed.
Yeah, that's the real shame here.

Check out any film mentioned in this thread. Seriously.
Hoffman was one of those rare actors who I liked in everything. Even if I didn't like the film I liked his performance.

Only on GAF would i see some shit like this. What the fuck is wrong with most of you people in OT section? Seriously. Go get some fucking help.
Apparently it was a heroine overdose?
Crazy. He was a good actor and didn't seem the type that would go on Heroine.

One of my favourites. Sad to see him go. As a fan, I'm sad I'll never see him perform in another movie or see the TV show they green-lit for him at Showtime, or that I missed him on broadway two summers ago in Death of a Salesman (my trip got delayed by several months).
As a human being, I'm sad for his family.
He has an amazing body of work that will be celebrated for years to come.

No, I promise those people exist all over the internet and real life.
Just a little late there buddy.
Massively sad, probably one of my top 3 favourite actors and lost in such a wasteful way. I feel horrible for his children.
