Oh, I so agree, J4T! His expressions made his performances so real. Their comment they made in the article says it all, imo:

Hoffman rose to fame through his pinpoint-precise movie portrayals of oddballs, schemers and misfits, often physically transforming himself for the roles. He won an Oscar portraying author Truman Capote in the 2005 biopic "Capote."

He was so adept at those transformations.

Thank you for stopping and commenting!

While making the choice to kill yourself with heroin doesn't appeal to me it sounds a lot less painful than those that choose to kill themselves with cigarettes.

It's curious to me what caused him to do it. The article said there were several envelopes in the waste container. There was also another article about some tainted heroine that had made its way into southern California, and that was just speculation that Hoffman might have used some. Another thing, he had three young children. It just seems so odd.

True.

Something bad must have happened. Just guessing.

I guess it's a chance one takes when you live that life choice.

Seems so.

I just realized he was in the movie Twister, too. He didn't have a feature role, but his acting caused him to be a stand-out. He defined a great actor, imo.
