Anybody except the rich and famous guy who allegedly bought some drugs, took some drugs, and died from his drug overdose.

Ed Zachary!

Investigations are continuing to find out where Hoffman obtained his drugs.

At least one of four people arrested during an investigation of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's suspected fatal heroin overdose had the actor's cellphone number, two law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

Investigators zeroed in on the four after a tipster, responding to publicity about Hoffman's death, told police he had seen Hoffman at the lower Manhattan apartment building where they were arrested on Tuesday and he believed that's where Hoffman got the heroin, the officials said. In searches of two apartments in the building, police found hundreds of packets of heroin in one of them, according to a criminal complaint.

One would have to be utterly detached from reality to see him as a hero. He was obviously fatally flawed and completely failed his family miserably.

That's pretty heavy duty. One of the problems that some people with money have is that they can buy "the good stuff" and a lot of it.

I did not like it either.

I was hoping his last movie was not "The Master" (**worse-than-terrible**) and thankfully it was not.

Because it really was a bad movie or you just don't like Scientology?

....or because it was a bad movie about scientology?

I've actually be curious about that movie and had not seen it yet. But I've seen a number of his other roles, going all the way back to Patch Adams, and I always thought he was a very good actor. He was brilliant in Capote, for which he won an Oscar for best performance by a male actor.

Most of his notable roles have been playing eccentric characters, such as Truman Capote. My first recollection of Philip Seymour Hoffman was in his role in "Patch Adams" as the uptight medical student roommate of Robin Williams. He was also excellent as the CIA case officer in "Charlie Wilson's War". He will not be remembered as an actor for playing main steam roles , but he was quite a talent.

Let us hope that his untimely death will cause one or more other people to think twice about their drug habit.

I have been reading more about Philip Hoffman and his addictions to drugs and alcohol since in his 20s.
A sober and rational person would think twice about their drug habits and the potential bad outcomes.
However drug addicts of this severity are rarely thinking rationally.
Their addiction and desire to get high over-shadows considerations and consequences that effect their family members and friends.
Think Elvis Presley or Lenny Bruce.

I think that Philip Hoffman's death was sad, unnecessary and avoidable. Most drug overdoses are not publicized unless the deceased is a public figure. My biggest issue is when the press or fans try to promote the notion just because the person was famous or talented that the death was glamorous and they are deserving of some kind of cult status or hero worship. On the other hand, calling someone a junkie does the opposite by trying to portray them as less than human.

Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose — in the bathroom with a hypodermic needle still in his arm — inside a Greenwich Village home on Sunday morning, cops said.

Jeeze! I just rented "The Master" last night.
