From the film archives: No Doubt of Hoffmans skill as notable actor
Capote star leaves void after his death
0220-GO-Doubt
Philip Seymour Hoffman portrays Father Flynn and Meryl Streep portrays Sister Aloysius in a scene from “Doubt.” Hoffman was found dead in his New York City apartment Feb. 2. He was 46.
From “The Big Lebowski” to “The Hunger Games,” Philip Seymour Hoffman played in many iconic movies throughout the years. His career came to a sudden end Feb. 2, when he was found dead in an apartment in Greenwich Village, N.Y. In light of that event, I decided to explore some of Hoffman’s films that I had never seen before. Having already seen “Capote” and most of his older films, my first choice was the 2008 film “Synecdoche, New York,” but after watching it, I decided I couldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t like confusing and postmodern drama.
