Philip Seymour Hoffman
46-year old Philip Seymour Hoffman, known for having lapped up an Academy award for the 2005 made film Capote, has been reported dead in his house in Manhattan after suffering a suspected drug overdose. He leaves behind his long-term partner Mimi O'Donnell and three children. Born in Fairport, New York, Philip’s mother Marilyn O'Connor was a family court judge and lawyer while his father Gordon Stowell Hoffman was a former Xerox executive. He had two sisters (Jill and Emily) and a brother Gordy who has been credited of having scripted the 2002 made film Love Liza that starred his elder brother (Philip). Philip started acting in high school after a neck injury forced him to give up wrestling. When he was 17, he was selected to attend the 1984 Theater School at the New York State Summer School of the Arts in Saratoga Springs, meeting future collaborators Bennett Millerand Dan Futterman there. After graduating from Fairport High School, Philip attended the Circle in the Square Theatre's summer program, continuing his acting training with acting teacher Alan Langdon. Having started his acting career with an episode in a TV series The Violence of Summer in 199, his last released film was A Late Quartet (2012). Of late, Philip has been shooting for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 and was in the midst of production a series titled Happyish. Before his death he was set to direct a film titled Ezekiel Moss that follows a drifter with the ability to communicate with the dead starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams. At this point it is very interesting to note that earlier Philip had undergone treatment for the use of heroin and dependency on pills.
