A lot of people in the film industry left us this past year. And this year is off to a rather depressing start. I wonder if this man, who gave my second favorite performance last year, will be recognized by this years In Memorium segment at the Oscars.

I secretly pray that this story is just another celebrity death hoax, because if it is real, we’ve lost a truly great man and a truly great actor today.

“Success isn’t what makes you happy. It really isn’t. Success is doing what makes you happy and doing good work and hopefully having a fruitful life. If I’ve felt like I’ve done good work, that makes me happy. The success part of it is all gravy.” -Phillip Seymour Hoffman

We will all miss you.
