i don't consider myself a celebrity fanatic, but there are certain performers whose art has made an impact on the medium of film who deserve recognition in life and, sadly at the end of their time as well. without question my favorite actor for many many years has been philip seymour hoffman.
his untimely death is all the more tragic for whatever despair led him into his drug addiction. though it is heart-breaking to think of the work he will never have the opportunity to perform, his portrayal of the human condition has undoubtedly changed much for the better. his talents will be greatly missed by many, not least of all myself.
This one hit me hard too. You've put it really well here.
