Philip Seymour Hoffman (July 23, 1967 – February 2, 2014) was an
American actor, director, and producer of film and theater. Best
known for his distinctive supporting and character roles –
typically lowlifes, bullies, and misfits – Hoffman was a regular
presence in films from the early 1990s until his death at age 46.
Drawn to theater as a teenager, Hoffman studied acting at New York
University's Tisch School of the Arts. He began his screen career in
a 1991 episode of Law & Order and started to appear in films in
1992. He gained recognition for his supporting work throughout the
decade, notably in Boogie Nights (1997), Happiness (1998), The Big
Lebowski (1998), Magnolia (1999), and The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999).
He began to occasionally play leading roles, and for his portrayal of
the author Truman Capote in Capote (2005), won multiple accolades
including the Academy Award for Best Actor. Hoffman's profile
continued to grow, and he received three more Oscar nominations for
his supporting work as a brutally frank CIA officer in Charlie
Wilson's War (2007), a priest accused of charismatic leader of a Scientology-type movement in The Master
(2012).

While he mainly worked in independent films, including The Savages
(2007) and Synecdoche, New York (2008), Hoffman also appeared in
Hollywood blockbusters, such as Twister (1996) and Mission:
Impossible III (2006), and, in one of his final roles, as Plutarch
Heavensbee in the Hunger Games series (2013–15). The feature Jack
Goes Boating (2010) marked his debut as a filmmaker. Hoffman was also
an accomplished theater actor and director. He joined the
off-Broadway LAByrinth Theater Company in 1995, where he directed,
produced, and nominations appeared in numerous stage productions. His performances in three Broadway plays – True West (2000), Long Day's
Journey into Night (2003), and Death of a Salesman (2012) – all led
to Tony Award nominations.
Hoffman struggled with drug addiction as a young adult, and relapsed
in 2013 after many years of sobriety. In February 2014, he died of
combined drug intoxication – an unexpected event that was widely
lamented in the film and theater industries. Remembered for his
fearlessness in playing reprehensible characters, and for bringing
depth and humanity to such roles, Hoffman was described in his New
York Times obituary as "perhaps the most ambitious and widely
admired American actor of his generation".

Although friends stated that Hoffman's drug use was under control at
the time, on February 2, 2014 he was found dead in the bathroom of
his Manhattan apartment by a friend – playwright and screenwriter
David Bar Katz. Hoffman was 46 years old. Detectives searching the
apartment found heroin and prescription medications at the scene, and
revealed that he was discovered with a syringe in his arm. The death
was officially ruled an accident caused by "acute mixed drug
intoxication, including heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines and
amphetamine". It was not determined whether Hoffman had taken
all of the substances on the same day, or whether any of the
substances had remained in his system from earlier use. A funeral was
held at St. Ignatius Loyola church in Manhattan on February 7, 2014
and was attended by many of his former co-stars.

Hoffman's unexpected death was widely lamented by fans and the film
industry, and was
described by several commentators as a considerable loss to the profession. On
February 5, 2014, the LAByrinth Theatre Company honored his memory by
holding a candlelight vigil, and Broadway dimmed its lights for one
minute. In another tribute, actress Cate Blanchett dedicated her
BAFTA trophy to Hoffman when she received the award for Blue Jasmine
on February 16. Three weeks after Hoffman's death, David Bar Katz
established the American Playwriting Foundation in the actor's
memory. With the money received from a libel lawsuit against the
National Enquirer (which had inaccurately published that Hoffman and
Katz were lovers), the foundation awards an annual prize of US$45,000
to the author of an unproduced play. Katz named this the "Relentless
Prize" in honor of Hoffman's dedication to the profession.
Regarding his material legacy, Hoffman left his entire fortune
(approximately US$35 million) to Mimi O'Donnell in his October 2004
will, trusting her to distribute money to their children.

Did David Bar Katz sign an agreement with the higher order to have
Philip Seymour Hoffman's life terminated so that he can someday
achieve what Philip has accomplished??? It appears that Hoffman was a
willing sacrifice for his friend. RIP..Philip…..your body of films
and outstanding achievements will live on.
