R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman

After hearing the sad news about Philip Seymour Hoffman's passing yesterday, it made me think of the time I'd met him at Sundance about ten years ago. He was cordial enough, asked his friend to take the picture, and was nice enough to stop for me, which I appreciated. In the years since I haven't seen him be all that friendly, but, apparently, he was dealing with issues no one knew anything about.

Still, it's undeniable that he was one of the greats. I never saw a movie of his where he didn't give it his all or completely get into character. Philip was supremely talented and deserved every accolade he received. It's a shame that we lost him so young. R.I.P.
