    If any good can come of it... here's hoping it does help someone.

    - Aaron Sorkin: Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Death Saved 10 Lives -

    "Phil Hoffman and I had two things in common. We were both fathers of young children, and we were both recovering drug addicts. Of course I’d known Phil’s work for a long time — since his remarkably perfect film debut as a privileged, cowardly prep-school kid in Scent of a Woman — but I’d never met him until the first table read for Charlie Wilson’s War, in which he’d been cast as Gust Avrakotos, a working-class CIA agent who’d fallen out of favor with his Ivy League colleagues. A 180-degree turn."...

    The West Wing creator and recovering drug addict remembers the late and great actor, fondly reflecting on the empowering pow-wows the two would have during filming of Charlie Wilson's War, and finds a silver lining in his overdose

    Awesome actor. Many great performances. I think the very first movie I saw him in was Twister, playing the obnoxiously funny 'Dusty'. "Foood......FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD"

    RIP.

    Sad. One of my favorite actors. Love his movies and the roles he plays. Definitely a big loss for the movie industry.

    Once you go to the needle, you likely aren't coming back, so I guess this was inevitable. One of the greatest actors of this generation, my condolences go out to his family, especially his kids.

    sad to hear this

    I first heard of this guy before I saw him act and I saw his picture and thought - wow this is the guy who is so loved for his art?

    He really was great at his craft and the world will miss him

    Such a shame - Heroine's hooks root deep. He likely never did overcome his addictions from his school days completely. A disgusting habit that I have seen close up- friend-

    Hopefully this scares someone straight - somewhere

    Apparent heroin overdose.
    Was found with needle in his arm.

    Drugs are no joke and are the cause of a lot of celebrity deaths. May he rest in peace and prays to his family and friends.
