PSH is perhaps my favorite actor ever. Just wanted to toss in Doubt, The Big Lebowski, Hunger Games and Charlie Wilson’s War. I have not (to my regret) seen Synechdoce, NY. Dude could do it all.

He's an incredible actor. I can't say I've seen many of his films but what he was in, he was brilliant. Didn't realise he was only 46 when he passed though. I remember it happening, but man.

He played the perfect self-entitled asshat in Scent of a Woman, corrupt preacher in Cold Mountain, and embarrassing friend in Along Came Polly.

Every time Hoffman is brought up I have to mention Mission Impossible 3. He played an amazing villain and elevated the fuck out of that movie.

I also wished PSH switched parts with Chris O'Donnell.

Gary Oldman in True Romance too. Didn’t even realize it was him at first.
